181.939 NURSING MOTHERS.
An employer must provide reasonable unpaid break time each day to an employee who needs
to express breast milk for her infant child. The break time must, if possible, run concurrently with
any break time already provided to the employee. An employer is not required to provide break
time under this section if to do so would unduly disrupt the operations of the employer.
The employer must make reasonable efforts to provide a room or other location, in close
proximity to the work area, other than a toilet stall, where the employee can express her milk in
privacy. The employer would be held harmless if reasonable effort has been made.
For the purposes of this section, "employer" means a person or entity that employs one or
more employees and includes the state and its political subdivisions.
