HB 1127 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the promotion of breast-feeding and the prohibition against interference with or restriction of the right to breast-feed.

HB 1127 protects mothers' right to breastfeed or express milk in any location where they and their child are authorized to be, such as public spaces, workplaces, or state facilities. It requires state agencies to develop "mother-friendly" worksite policies and mandates annual notifications about these rights through tax newsletters and seminars. The bill creates a civil remedy allowing mothers to sue for violations, with potential damages up to $500 per day of interference and recovery of attorney fees. This law directly affects breastfeeding mothers, businesses, state agencies, and public venues by prohibiting discrimination and ensuring access to breastfeeding support.
