House Bill No. 258, introduced by Representative Gonzlez of El Paso, amends the Government Code by adding Section 661.925, which mandates that state agencies provide lactating employees with sufficient time off to express breast milk without any deductions from their salary or accrued leave. This provision ensures that employees can take the necessary breaks each time they have a reasonable need to express milk.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that employees are entitled to this time off until the third anniversary of childbirth or a reproductive loss. The new law is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, promoting a supportive work environment for lactating state employees.
