New York S08667 mandates employers to provide designated lactation rooms for nursing employees and requires written policies on nursing rights.

New York S08667 amends the labor law to ensure employers provide designated rooms or locations for nursing employees to express breast milk in the workplace. These spaces must be hygienic, close to the work area, well-lit, shielded from view, and free from intrusion.
