“SECTION 4A.  The executive office of health and human services shall provide a report on the creation of a designation of a business as “Family-Friendly” which may be used in promotional materials if the business develops and implements a written policy supporting the expression of breast milk at the workplace.  Such policy may include, but shall not be limited to, the following elements: (i) work schedule flexibility, including scheduling breaks and work patterns to provide time for the expression of breast milk; (ii) accessible private non-bathroom space to express breast milk; (iii) access to an electrical outlet; (iv) access to a clean, safe water source and a sink for washing; and (v) access to hygienic refrigerated storage in the workplace to store breast milk. The report shall consider information from other states which have enacted similar initiatives and include a review of the feasibility and estimated cost of maintaining a list of businesses designated as “Family-Friendly”.

The executive office of health and human services shall file the report with the clerks of the senate and house of representatives, the chairs of the joint committee on labor and workforce development and the chairs of the joint committee on public health not later than March 1, 2018.”.
