Provides for lactation accommodation in public transportation facilities act
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.
