On Sunday, August 2, 2015, Governor Rauner signed Senate Bill 0344 "Lactation Accommodation in Airports Act" which requires large Illinois airports to provide lactation rooms in each terminal by 2017. Smaller Illinois airports will be required to add lactation rooms when building new terminals or renovating existing ones. On Friday, July 31, 2015, the Chicago City Council Finance Committee held a hearing on a similar ordinance which would require City airports to have lactation rooms by January 2016. The Finance Committee voted in favor of the proposed ordinance and the legislation will head to the full City Council for a vote in September 2015. At Friday's hearing, the city's aviation commissioner said O'Hare recently opened a Mother's Room in the Terminal 3 Rotunda, next to the Yoga Room and Urban Garden. Midway airport currently has one lactation room. This is a positive victory for nursing moms. But there is still work to be done in terms of having lactation rooms in airports nationwide. U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois introduced federal legislation to require large and medium airports nationwide to provide lactation rooms. Although the bill has bipartisan support, it has not moved out of committee.
