NY A05361

Requires lactation rooms in state-owned public buildings to be well lit and have nearby access to clean running water, in addition to existing requirements for a chair, working surface, and electrical outlet

Mandates conspicuous signage notifying the public of lactation room availability, posted either outside the room entrance or in the building's reception area

Directs the Office of General Services to create and maintain an online directory of public buildings with lactation rooms, with initial publication within 6 months of enactment and updates every 6 months thereafter

Requires public buildings to establish clear rules allowing public access to lactation rooms located in otherwise restricted areas, unless such access would endanger public safety

Removes the exemption for buildings that could repurpose existing rooms at reasonable cost, narrowing exclusions only to cases where new construction would be prohibitively expensive
