MS Breastfeeding Support and Equity Act; create to revise and strengthen statutes supporting and promoting.

HB 1094, the Mississippi Breastfeeding Support and Equity Act, requires maternal health care facilities (like hospitals and clinics) to adopt breastfeeding-supportive policies, provide pre-discharge counseling to mothers, and visibly post the state's "Breastfeeding in Mississippi: Guidelines" in public areas. It also mandates employers to provide reasonable break time and private spaces for nursing employees during work hours and makes it a misdemeanor to interfere with a mother breastfeeding in public. The bill directly affects new mothers, health care facilities, and employers across Mississippi, aiming to remove barriers through policy changes rather than legal restrictions. These provisions replace older statutes and align with state health guidelines promoting breastfeeding benefits.
