AI Summary
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. The key provisions include requiring employers to provide reasonable break time for employees to express breast milk and a private, non-bathroom space to do so, for up to one year after the child's birth. Employers with fewer than 50 employees are exempt if the requirements would impose an undue hardship. The bill also clarifies that violations of these provisions can be remedied under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
