VA medical centers would be required to provide private lactation spaces for veteran moms and the public.
This bill would require all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers to have dedicated lactation spaces. These spaces would be private, hygienic, and accessible for women veterans and other visitors to express breast milk. The VA would have two years to set up these new spaces.
Today, there is no federal rule requiring Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers to have dedicated lactation spaces. After this bill, all VA medical centers would be required to provide private, hygienic, and accessible lactation spaces for women veterans and the public to express breast milk, with a two-year deadline for implementation.
