Bill > S09817

This bill amends the Correction Law to require institutions and local correctional facilities to provide breast pumps, related collection and storage materials, and lactation support to incarcerated mothers who are breastfeeding or expressing breast milk for their children up to 24 months of age. The bill also requires facilities to collect and report data on the pregnancy, childbirth, and nursery program outcomes of incarcerated individuals. Additionally, the bill mandates that incarcerated individuals be informed of their rights and that facility staff receive training on the new provisions.
