In 2008, Colorado passed the Workplace Accommodations for Nursing Mothers Act which requires employers to provide adequate break time and a private place for an employee to
express breast milk for the nursing child.
The provision requires employers to provide «reasonable break time for an employee to
express breast milk for her nursing child for 1 year after the child's birth each time such employee has need to express the milk.»
«The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111 - 148, known as the «Affordable Care Act») amended section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act («FLSA») to require employers to provide «reasonable break time for an employee to
express breast milk for her nursing child for 1 year after the child's birth each time such employee has need to express the milk.»
Among many provisions, Section 4207 of the law amends the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 (29 U.S. Code 207) to require an employer to provide reasonable break time for an employee to
express breast milk for her nursing child for one year after the child's birth each time such employee has need to express milk.
For example, employers are required to accommodate breastfeeding employees by giving them reasonable unpaid break time or by letting them use paid breaks or mealtimes to pump or
express breast milk for a nursing child for up to three years after delivery.
