MS HB91

Revises legislative findings to recognize breast-feeding benefits for infants, mothers, families, businesses, and the state, including estimated annual healthcare savings of $36-130 million if recommended practices are adopted.

Requires all maternal health care facilities to adopt written infant feeding policies supporting breast-feeding and post "Breast-Feeding in Mississippi: Guidelines" conspicuously with specific statements about benefits, rights, and employer protections.

Mandates employers provide reasonable break time and a private space with electrical outlet for employees to express breast milk, with breaks running concurrently with paid breaks when possible.

Makes it a misdemeanor (fine of $25-$250) for any person or entity to violate a mother's right to breast-feed in any location where she is otherwise authorized to be, without requiring coverage.

Requires the State Department of Health to provide breast-feeding education videos to other state agencies serving women of child-bearing age and directs child care facilities to provide sanitary spaces and storage for expressed milk.
