Senate Bill No. 1435 mandates the Commissioner of Correction to establish a written policy by October 1, 2025, allowing lactating mothers in custody to breastfeed their infants during visitation. The policy must ensure a safe and hygienic environment for breastfeeding, inform all women in custody about the policy, and display it in visitation and common areas of correctional facilities. Additionally, the Commissioner is required to fully implement this policy by January 1, 2026, and report its details to the relevant legislative committee.

The bill does not introduce any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the Department of Correction is expected to develop the policy using existing resources. The legislation aims to support the rights of incarcerated mothers and promote the health and well-being of their infants.
