AB 372 which would allow state workers to bring their infants into the workplace, was working through the assembly last week, and passed the Public Employment and Retirement Committee. Lawmakers raised several concerns as the bill was in hearing last like how to implement such a program, parents not using full medical leave and rushing back to work. The proposed legislation would allow state employees to bring their infants to work in order to promote parent-infant bonding time and breastfeeding. Babies would need to be between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 months, or until the infant is crawling (whichever is earlier), and get medical clearance from a physician and a surgeon. If AB 373 passes and becomes law, it woud go into effect January 1, 2020 for one year.A Proponents say hundreds of US companies allow parents to care for their infants on the job.
