Bill > HR5592

This bill, the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act), amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to expand access to breastfeeding accommodations in the workplace. Specifically, it requires employers to provide break time and private space for employees to express breast milk, and clarifies that this requirement applies to both hourly and salaried workers. The bill also clarifies the remedies available for violations of the breastfeeding accommodation provisions. The amendments related to expanding access take effect 120 days after the bill's enactment, while the amendments related to remedies and clarification take effect immediately upon enactment.
