Hi

Add California to the list too.  California employers must allow mothers
to pump, and give them time to do it, and a space (not a bathroom).
They don't have to pay her though, and can ask her to do it on her own
time or make up the time.

In Illinois employers must allow a breastfeeding mother to pump for her child but doesn't have to pay her for the time.  So can require that she come in early or stay late to make up the time.
