Paid breaks for expressing breast milk
Sec. 2. (a) The state and political subdivisions of the state shall
provide reasonable paid break time each day to an employee who
needs to express breast milk for the employee's infant child. The
break time must, if possible, run concurrently with any break time
already provided to the employee. The state and political
subdivisions are not required to provide break time under this section
if providing break time would unduly disrupt the operations of the
state or political subdivisions.
(b) The state and political subdivisions of the state shall make
reasonable efforts to provide a room or other location, other than a
toilet stall, in close proximity to the work area, where an employee
described in subsection (a) can express the employee's breast milk in
privacy. The state and political subdivisions shall make reasonable
efforts to provide a refrigerator or other cold storage space for
keeping milk that has been expressed. The state or a political
subdivision is not liable if the state or political subdivision makes a
reasonable effort to comply with this subsection.
