Relating to the expression of breast milk in public buildings and providing leave for state employees to donate breast milk.
HB 1558 requires public buildings, including the Texas Capitol, to provide private, non-bathroom spaces for people to express breast milk. It mandates that state employers give employees reasonable break time and a private area for milk expression during work hours. The bill also allows state employees to take paid time off (once monthly, with supervisor approval) to donate breast milk, without salary or leave deductions. These provisions apply to all state agencies and new public building construction or renovations starting after the bill's effective date. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
