Title
Rules and Forms | Access and Fairness: Accommodations for Court Users to Pump or Express Breast Milk (Action Required)
body
Summary
Senate Bill 949 (Stats. 2024, ch. 159) requires superior courts to grant court users who are participating in court proceedings a reasonable amount of break time to express milk for their infant children. The legislation also mandates that the Judicial Council create a confidential process for superior court users to request break time for that purpose. To implement the new law, the Advisory Committee on Providing Access and Fairness recommends a new rule of court and a new optional form.
Recommendation
The Advisory Committee on Providing Access and Fairness recommends that, effective January 1, 2026, the council adopt rule 2.40 and approve Request for Accommodation to Pump or Express Breast Milk (form MC-420).
