H.R. 5738, Lactation Spaces for Veteran Moms Act (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (20 pages)
Congress 117th
Date Requested April 6, 2022
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent May 12, 2022
Description:
H.R. 5738 would codify the requirement to have a lactation space at every medical center in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Under the bill, a lactation space is a hygienic place other than a bathroom that would be easily accessible, shielded from view, free from intrusion, and available for use by veterans. The department’s medical centers have at least one dedicated space that complies with the bill’s requirements to accommodate nursing mothers. VA also has a 5-year strategic plan for installing additional lactation spaces for veterans and visitors of its facilities. Since VA meets the requirements of the bill under current law, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not affect the federal budget.
