S 8564 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to nursing employees

This bill requires employers to provide a designated sink or individual basin for washing breast pump equipment in the room set aside for nursing employees. The provision applies to any workplace that already offers a private, shielded space for expressing breast milk, ensuring the area includes necessary amenities like a chair, working surface, and electrical outlet. By adding this specific requirement, the legislation aims to support lactating workers by making the designated nursing room more functional and hygienic. The change takes effect immediately upon signing.
