Relates to nursing employees
This bill requires employers to provide a designated sink for washing breast pump equipment upon request by nursing employees. It amends labor law to specify that the room designated for expressing milk must include, "upon request," a sink or basin for cleaning pump attachments. The law directly affects nursing employees who express milk at work and their employers, who must comply with this provision. Key provisions include ensuring the facility is accessible, private, and not a restroom, with the new sink requirement being optional only when requested. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
