Lactation Spaces for Veteran Moms: Required in All VA Medical Centers.

This bill mandates that all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers establish dedicated, hygienic, and private lactation spaces. This change ensures that women veterans and members of the public visiting these facilities have accessible and comfortable places to express breast milk. These spaces must be accessible to disabled individuals and clearly identified.
Key points
Every VA medical center must provide a private, hygienic room for breastfeeding or expressing breast milk, separate from a bathroom.
These spaces must be accessible to individuals with disabilities, include a chair and a working surface, and be clearly marked.
The VA Secretary must implement these new requirements within two years of the law's enactment.
