This bill requires public transportation facilities to provide private spaces for nursing mothers. It applies to highway rest areas (where food is sold), major bus/rail stations (with over 500,000 annual passengers), and roadside rest areas on specific highways. Key provisions mandate that these spaces include a chair, electrical outlet, and be located outside public restrooms, with compliance required by January 1, 2026. The law directly affects travelers using these facilities and transportation operators responsible for their infrastructure.
