A 5071 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires lactation rooms be made available at certain PANYNJ airports.

This bill requires the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to provide private lactation rooms at its airports that meet specific passenger volume thresholds. Airports with at least one million annual passengers must offer these rooms immediately, while those with between 10,000 and 999,999 passengers must provide them when new terminals are built or existing ones are significantly renovated. The law mandates that these spaces be located behind security checkpoints, situated outside public restrooms, and equipped with a chair, electrical outlet, and sink for new construction or major renovations. The legislation will only take effect if New York State passes a matching law, ensuring consistent requirements across both states' airports.
