An Act promoting infant friendly workplaces
This bill creates a voluntary "Infant-Friendly Workplace Program" in Massachusetts, allowing parents or legal guardians to bring infants aged 6 weeks to 6 months to work while performing job duties. Eligible employers (those receiving state/federal childcare grants) must establish safe spaces, provide training, set reasonable participation limits, and comply with child immunization rules. Employers can use state grants for equipment, private nursing areas, or hiring domestic workers to support childcare during work hours, and qualify for tax incentives. The program requires annual reporting on participation and outcomes, aiming to improve parent retention without replacing existing Paid Family and Medical Leave.
