Beginning July 1, 2008, a new Indiana law goes into effect that will protect mothers who wish to breastfeed in the workplace. The law will affect businesses with 25 or more employees, as well as the state and political subdivisions of the state (government employers).

The new law requires employers to provide a private location, other than a toilet stall, where an employee can pump breast milk in privacy.  In addition, the employer must either provide a refrigerator (or other cold storage space), or allow the employee to provide their own portable cold storage device, for keeping milk that has been pumped until the end of the employee’s work day.
