Summary
The bill amends New Jersey’s anti‑discrimination law to treat breastfeeding as a protected characteristic. It obligates employers to provide reasonable break periods and a private, non‑bathroom location for expressing milk, and bars discrimination, retaliation, or lower pay for lactating workers. The measure also extends the same protections to public accommodations and housing providers.
