H.R. 2530 · 114th Congress

Friendly Airports for Mothers Act of 2015

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Friendly Airports for Mothers Act of 2015

This bill authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to approve a grant application for an airport development project only if the Secretary receives written assurances that the owner or operator of a large or medium hub airport will maintain a lactation area at each passenger terminal building of the airport behind the airport security screening area.

The bill defines "lactation area" to mean a room or other location in a commercial service airport for members of the public to express breast milk that:

  • is shielded from view and free from intrusion from the public;
  • has a door that can be locked;
  • includes a place to sit, a table or other flat surface, and an electrical outlet;
  • is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities; and
  • is not located in a restroom.

The Secretary may approve a terminal development project for the construction or installation of a lactation area at a commercial service airport.
