Summary

Existing law provides for the classification and appointment of superior court officers, deputies, assistants, and employees as are deemed necessary for the performance of the duties and the exercise of the powers conferred by law upon the superior court and its members. Existing law generally requires the superior court, as an employer, to provide employees with the use of a lactation room or other location for employees to express milk in private. A lactation room or location is required to provide, among other things, a clean and safe place to sit. This bill, commencing July 1, 2024, would require the superior court to provide any court user access to a lactation room in any courthouse in which a lactation room is also provided to court employees, as specified. The bill would require the lactation room for court users to be located within the court facility in an area that is accessible to the public or in any location that is reasonably accessible to the public using the court facility. The bill, except as provided, would require the lactation room for court users to meet all of the requirements imposed upon an employer with respect to providing a lactation room for employees.
