HB 777 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the places a public employer may provide for employees to express breast milk.

HB 777 requires Texas public employers (such as state agencies, schools, and local government offices) to provide two specific accommodations for employees who need to express breast milk: (1) reasonable break time each time needed, and (2) a private, non-bathroom space shielded from view and free from interruption. The bill directly affects public employees who are breastfeeding or pumping, ensuring they have workplace accommodations comparable to those required for other medical needs. Key provisions amend the Government Code to mandate these requirements, effective September 1, 2025, and explicitly prohibit using multi-user bathrooms as the designated space. This is a concrete policy change focused on workplace accessibility for nursing employees.
