Bill > HB2890

This bill requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees without forcing them to use their existing leave, unless such accommodations would create an undue hardship for the business. The reasonable accommodations can include equipment modifications, additional breaks, assistance with manual labor, a private area for breastfeeding, modified work schedules or job assignments, and flexible scheduling for prenatal healthcare visits. Employers must conspicuously post notice of these accommodation requirements and include this information in their employee handbooks. They are also required to provide written notice about these accommodations to newly hired employees at the time of hire, to current employees within 180 days of the law's effective date, and to pregnant employees within 10 days of being informed about their pregnancy. The bill is officially titled the "Pregnant Workers Protection Act" and aims to support pregnant employees by ensuring they can continue working with necessary adaptations to their work environment and schedule.
