This version of S 2689 represents a substantial structural reorganization of the bill. The primary change is the replacement of extensive anti-discrimination statutory text with a Senate Labor Committee statement dated March 2, 2026. The removed content included detailed provisions prohibiting discrimination in employment, housing, lending, and public accommodations across numerous protected characteristics; religious accommodation requirements; anti-retaliation protections; equal pay provisions; and workplace breastfeeding accommodation language. The new committee statement describes the bill's focus on requiring employers to provide breastfeeding accommodations and notes completion of technical review, suggesting this version consolidates the bill's scope to its core breastfeeding accommodation provisions while removing broader anti-discrimination statutory language that may have been redundant with existing law or relocated elsewhere.
