Bill > HB2135

This bill, titled the Menopause and Perimenopause Workplace Protections and Accommodations Act, requires employers to provide "reasonable accommodations" for employees experiencing conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or related medical conditions, which include things like more frequent breaks, time off for recovery, modified work schedules, or private space for expressing breast milk. Employers cannot refuse these accommodations unless they can prove it would cause an "undue hardship," meaning significant difficulty or expense, and they must inform employees of their rights to these accommodations. The bill also prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who request or receive accommodations and clarifies that it does not override existing laws that offer greater protections.
