The "Babies at School Act" is a new legislative proposal that allows school employees who are parents to bring their infants, defined as children six months or younger, to work during the school day. The act aims to support parents in balancing their responsibilities at work and home, particularly during the critical early months of a child's life. It emphasizes the importance of employee retention by providing this flexibility to school staff.

Under the provisions of the act, schools are permitted to establish policies regarding the work environment, performance standards, and safety guidelines for infants brought to the workplace. Additionally, the act clarifies that while employees can bring their infants to work, they are also allowed to bring older children (six months or older) to the school. This legislation seeks to create a supportive atmosphere for working parents in educational settings.
