Bill Summary

Supporting Working Moms Act of 2013

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Supporting Working Moms Act of 2013, aims to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, a federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and other rights for most workers in the United States. Specifically, the bill proposes to modify Section 13(a) of this act by striking certain existing provisions related to exemptions from wage and hour requirements and inserting new ones. While the provided text is highly technical and refers to specific sections and subsections (like 6(d) and 7(r)), the core intent is to adjust the rules regarding reasonable break time for nursing mothers, implying an effort to ensure they have adequate time to express milk while at work, a practice often referred to as "pumping." The amendments suggest a refinement of existing regulations to better support working mothers in balancing their professional responsibilities with their needs for breastfeeding or expressing milk.
