LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
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. Existing law authorizes local agencies, as
defined, to acquire property for airport purposes and engage in
various activities related to airport development and operation.
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)
(3) 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.
