The lactation room must be a hygienic place that is shielded from public view and free from intrusion and must contain a chair, a working surface, and an electrical outlet. </p> <p>A public building may be excluded from such requirement at the discretion of the official responsible for its operation if:</p> <ul> <li>it does not contain a lactation room for employees and does not have a space that could be repurposed as one or that could be made private by using portable materials, at a reasonable cost; or</li> <li>the cost of new construction required to create a lactation room is not feasible.</li> </ul>]]></text>
