Existing law generally requires the superior court, as an employer, to provide employees with the use of a lactation room or other location for employees to express milk in private. A lactation room or location is required to provide, among other things, a clean and safe place to sit.
This bill would require the superior court to allow an attorney or other officer of the superior court access to a lactation room
room, or another location, as specified, that is provided to court employees with priority to court employees.
