1  AN ACT concerning employment.

2  Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

3 represented in the General Assembly:

4  Section 5. The Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act is

5 amended by changing Section 10 as follows:

6  (820 ILCS 260/10)

7  Sec. 10. Break time for nursing mothers. An employer shall

8 provide reasonable break time to an employee who needs to

9 express breast milk for her nursing infant child each time the

10 employee has the need to express milk for one year after the

11 child's birth. The break time may run concurrently with any

12 break time already provided to the employee. An employer shall

13 compensate the employee during the break time at the

14 employee's regular rate of compensation. An employer shall not

15 require the employee to use paid leave during the break time or

16 reduce the employee's compensation during the break time in

17 any other manner. An employer may not reduce an employee's

18 compensation for time used for the purpose of expressing milk

19 or nursing a baby. An employer shall provide paid reasonable

20 break time as needed by the employee unless to do so would

21 create an undue hardship as defined by item (J) of Section

22 2-102 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
