New Jersey Laws

New Jersey employers are required to provide all breastfeeding employees with break time and a suitable space (other than a bathroom) to pump at work. See the law: New Jersey Assembly Bill 2294

In 2022, New Jersey amended its law to extend lactation accommodation protections to employees who are surrogates or have experienced pregnancy loss. The language was also updated to refer to “lactating employees” instead of “breastfeeding women.” For more details, see NJ A795
