Provides for lactation accommodation in public transportation facilities act
This bill requires new or renovated public transportation facilities - including highway rest areas (like those along Route 87), bus stations, and train stations serving over 500,000 annual passengers - to provide private spaces for nursing mothers. These spaces must include a chair, an electrical outlet, and be separate from public restrooms, with a deadline of January 1, 2026, for station compliance. It applies to facilities operated by state, local, or public entities but excludes subway and rapid transit stations. The law mandates these accommodations during construction, renovation, or expansion, directly affecting nursing mothers using these facilities and transit operators.
