The Georgia House gave approval for a bill that aims to require employers to give employees breaks to pump breast milk.

House Bill 1090, authored by Rep. Deborah Silcox, R- Atlanta, would require employers to provide adequate time for nursing employees to pump breast milk as well as a place other than a restroom to do it.

The bill makes exceptions for companies with less than 50 employees.
HB 1090 now goes to Gov. Brian Kemp.
