Complete·8/1/25

Illinois SB0212 mandates employers to provide 30 minutes of paid break time for nursing mothers to express breast milk for one year post-birth.

Illinois SB0212 amends the Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act to require employers to provide 30 minutes of paid break time for nursing mothers to express breast milk for their infants. This paid break time is mandated each time the employee needs to express milk for one year after the child's birth. Employees may use additional paid break time or meal time for any duration beyond 30 minutes. Employers must provide this paid break time unless it would create an undue hardship.
