House Committee Approves Bill to Provide Public Lactation Rooms

On February 28, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved, by voice vote, H.R. 1174, the Fairness for Breast Feeding Mothers Act of 2017. The legislation, sponsored by Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), would expand access to public lactation rooms shielded from public view and free from intrusion in federal buildings.

During the 114th Congress, the House passed a similar bill on September 27 (See The Source, 9/30/16).
