Explanation
The bill, which establishes certain criteria that employers must meet
for employees expressing breast milk, results in a potential minimal
General Fund revenue gain from civil penalties to the extent that
complaints are made and subsequent violations are found.
It is anticipated that the Labor Department has sufficient staff and
expertise to manage any complaints, which are expected to be few in
number.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to fluctuation in the number of
violations found.
