| SB 1159 (Massey)/HB 0974 (Hill, M.) SUPPORT | Tennessee Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. | Requires reasonable accommodations for employees for pregnancy, childbirth or a related position, including the need to express breast milk for a nursing child. Requires the Tennessee Human Rights Commission to develop rules and provide training.This legislation would provide protection for pregnant women who require accommodations as a result of issues related to their pregnancy or breast feeding. With the majority of women in the working force, and many of them primary income generating for their families, it is important for them to be able to retain employment if accommodations are needed during pregnancy and subsequently for breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is strongly recommended for infants whenever possible because of the substantial benefits it has. |
