Creates and modifies provisions relating to lactation accommodations in public schools and charter schools

The act specifies that each school building shall contain suitable accommodation in the form of a "private and secure" room designated for the exclusive use of women and "lactating students" that includes certain features established in current law, such as running water, a refrigerator for breast milk storage, and electrical outlets.

Additionally, a public school or charter school shall ensure that a lactating student is given a reasonable amount of time to accommodate the need to express breast milk, and a student shall not incur an academic penalty as a result of the use, during the school day, of the accommodations provided for under the act.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education shall develop a model policy that satisfies the provisions of the act before January 1, 2027. School districts and charter schools shall adopt a written policy pursuant to the provisions of the act before July 1, 2027.

This act is similar to SB 343 (2025). OLIVIA SHANNON
