The Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009

The Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009 (HR2819 / S1244) was introduced in
Congress on June 11, 2009 by Representative Carolyn Maloney and Senator Jeff
Merkley.

This bill will bring breastfeeding mothers under the protection of the 1964
Civil Rights Act, require employers with over 50 employees to provide a
private space and unpaid time off during the workday for mothers to express
milk, and set standards for breast pump manufacture. It also will provide
for tax incentives for employers that establish private lactation areas in
the workplace and tax credits for nursing mothers.

Keep reading! There are fast easy ways to support this bill (even if you
don't remember who your current Congress people are!):
