AN ACT CONCERNING PERSONS WHO ARE INCARCERATED BREASTFEEDING THEIR INFANTS.

This bill (SB 210) requires Connecticut's Department of Correction to create a policy allowing incarcerated mothers who are breastfeeding to nurse their infants during scheduled visits. It directly affects incarcerated parents who are lactating and their infants. The key provision mandates the Department of Correction to adopt this policy, ensuring access to breastfeeding during visits as part of standard visitation procedures. The bill focuses on enabling a basic health and parenting practice for this specific group during incarceration.
