Maddy summaryThis 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.
Maddy summaryThis bill creates a database to list programs that successfully help older adults with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The state health office and the department of health will work together to find these programs, decide what makes them successful, and update the list at least once a year. Once compiled, the database will be posted online so the public can easily find contact details, program names, descriptions, and locations. The law will take effect one year after it is signed into legislation.
Maddy summaryThis bill allows county election boards to hire poll workers on split shifts, meaning they can work different hours rather than the same continuous shift. To ensure oversight, the law requires that at least one inspector from each of the two major political parties must be present at the polling site for the entire time the polls are open. Counties will be responsible for creating specific rules to manage these shifts and maintain proper operations at the polls. The changes apply immediately to current and future election staffing arrangements.
