This version of A 4704 represents a substantial restructuring that removes extensive preamble text containing existing anti-discrimination law across employment, housing, lending, and public accommodations while replacing it with a focused committee statement. The removed preamble material enumerated protections based on breastfeeding, expressing milk, and other protected characteristics in contexts including employment discrimination, real property transactions, lending decisions, and public accommodations, along with detailed provisions on religious accommodations, undue hardship standards, and wage discrimination prohibitions. The new streamlined preamble, dated September 10, 2026, describes the bill's core purpose of requiring employers to provide breastfeeding accommodations including paid break time and private rooms with specified amenities, while establishing an employer size threshold of 15 or more employees and exempting workplaces under 3,000 square feet, remote locations, and outdoor workplaces. The changes appear to consolidate previously scattered legislative language into a cleaner statement of the bill's intent rather than substantively alter the underlying protections.
