An Act requiring lactation rooms in courthouses.
SB 941 requires all Pennsylvania courthouses to provide private, accessible lactation rooms for nursing parents. These rooms must be at least 80 square feet, include a chair, electrical outlet, and privacy features (like locking doors), and comply with ADA accessibility standards. The bill directly affects nursing parents using courthouses for court-related matters, ensuring they have a hygienic space to express breast milk or nurse their child. Courthouses must post public signage indicating room locations, and rooms cannot be repurposed restrooms or storage areas. The law takes effect six months after enactment.
