Bill > HB2570

This bill amends the Freedom to Breastfeed Act to require that each Commonwealth-owned building contain a suitable nursing parents room for employees or members of the public to breastfeed a child or express breast milk. The bill specifies the requirements for these nursing rooms, including that they must be accessible, have a lockable door, include basic amenities like a work surface and chair, and provide visual and sound privacy. The Department of General Services is tasked with determining the location of the nursing rooms based on operational needs and estimated demand, as well as providing signage and maintaining a list of the rooms on the department's website. The bill also allows the department to issue guidance or regulations to carry out these provisions.
