Indiana § 5-10-6-2

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 5: STATE AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION
• Art. 10: PUBLIC EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
• Ch. 6: Vacations and Other Benefits for Certain Public

Text

(a) The state and political subdivisions of the
state shall provide reasonable paid break time each day to an employee
who needs to express breast milk for the employee's infant child. The
break time must, if possible, run concurrently with any break time
already provided to the employee. The state and political subdivisions
are not required to provide break time under this section if providing
break time would unduly disrupt the operations of the state or political
subdivisions.
(b) The state and political subdivisions of the state shall make
reasonable efforts to provide a room or other location, other than a
toilet stall, in close proximity to the work area, where an employee
described in subsection (a) can express the employee's breast milk in
privacy. The state and political subdivisions shall make reasonable
efforts to provide a refrigerator or other cold storage space for keeping
milk that has been expressed. The state or a political subdivision is not
liable if the state or political subdivision makes a reasonable effort to
comply with this subsection.
