## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Definitions.— In this section:
|
||
|
||
(1) Appropriate authority.— The term “appropriate authority” means the head of a Federal agency, the Architect of the Capitol, or other official authority responsible for the operation of a public building.
|
||
|
||
(2) Covered public building.— The term “covered public building” means a public building (as defined in section 3301) that is open to the public and contains a public restroom, and includes a building listed in section 6301 or 5101.
|
||
|
||
(3) Lactation room.— The term “lactation room” means a hygienic place, other than a bathroom, that—
|
||
|
||
(A) is shielded from view;
|
||
|
||
(B) is free from intrusion; and
|
||
|
||
(C) contains a chair, a working surface, and, if the public building is otherwise supplied with electricity, an electrical outlet.
|
||
|
||
(b) Lactation Room Required.— Except as provided in subsection (c), the appropriate authority of a covered public building shall ensure that the building contains a lactation room that is made available for use by members of the public to express breast milk.
|
||
|
||
(c) Exceptions.— A covered public building may be excluded from the requirement in subsection (b) at the discretion of the appropriate authority if—
|
||
|
||
(1) the public building—
|
||
|
||
(A) does not contain a lactation room for employees who work in the building; and
|
||
|
||
(B) does not have a room that could be repurposed as a lactation room or a space that could be made private using portable materials, at a reasonable cost; or
|
||
|
||
(2) new construction would be required to create a lactation room in the public building and the cost of such construction is unfeasible.
|
||
|
||
(d) No Unauthorized Entry.— Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize an individual to enter a public building or portion thereof that the individual is not otherwise authorized to enter.
