What this amendment would do
SA 2988, submitted by Ms. Rosen, aims to add a new section to the law requiring the Secretary to ensure every Department of Veterans Affairs medical center has a lactation space.
The purpose of this amendment is to provide a specific area for women veterans and members of the public to express breast milk. According to the text, a lactation space must meet these requirements:
- It cannot be a bathroom.
- It must be hygienic, shielded from view, and free from intrusion.
- It must be accessible to disabled individuals, including those who use wheelchairs.
- It must have a chair and a working surface.
- It must be easy to locate and clearly identified with signage.
The amendment specifies that this does not give individuals permission to enter any part of a medical center they are not already authorized to enter. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must implement this requirement within two years after the Act is enacted.
