AB 1787, as amended, Lowenthal. Airports: commercial operations: lactation accommodation.
(1) Existing law requires every employer to provide a reasonable amount of break time to accommodate an employee who desires to express breast milk for the employee’s infant child. Existing federal law requires employers to provide the employee with the use of a room, other than a bathroom, for the employee to express breast milk, as specified.
This bill would, except as specified, require, on or before January 1, 2016, the airport manager of an airport that conducts commercial operations and that has more than 1,000,000 enplanements a year to provide a room or other location at each airport terminal behind the airport security screening area for members of the public to express breast milk in private that meets specified conditions.
(2) Because the bill would impose new duties on local public officials, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.
(3) A violation of the State Aeronautics Act is a crime.
The bill would expressly exclude its provisions as a crime under the act.
(4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
