AI Summary
This bill, the Lactation Spaces for Veteran Moms Act, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to ensure that each of its medical centers contains a designated lactation space. The lactation space must be a hygienic area, separate from a bathroom, that is shielded from view, free from intrusion, accessible to individuals with disabilities, and equipped with a chair and a working surface. The bill specifies that the lactation space must be clearly identified with signage and available for use by women veterans and members of the public to express breast milk. The VA is required to implement this change within two years of the bill's enactment.
