   Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 155--Relative to breast
   feeding.

        LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

   ACR 155, as introduced, Lempert.  Breast feeding.
   This measure would encourage the State of California and
California employers to support and encourage the practice of breast
feeding, by striving to accommodate the needs of employees, and by
ensuring that employees are provided with adequate facilities for
breast feeding and expressing milk for their children.  The measure
would also memorialize the Governor to declare by executive order
that California's employees be provided with adequate facilities for
breast feeding and expressing milk.
