Poll: Do you agree with required mommy rooms at the workplace?

For nursing mothers heading back to work, it used be tough to find a time and place to pump, but that is changing under a new federal law.

Part of President Obama's Affordable Care Act requires businesses to provide a "mommy room", a private space, not a restroom, to use a breast pump.

The law requires companies with more than 50 workers provide a private room and enough time for breastfeeding moms to pump, on the clock.

The final rules regarding the law, which went into effect in 2010, have not been finalized, MSNBC.com reported , but that hasn’t stopped the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour division from handing out citations for violations.

Sonia Melendez, a spokeswoman for the Labor Department told MSNBC.com 23 companies had been cited.

“The department intends to continue enforcing the law based on the statutory language,” she told MSNBC.com . “Until the department issues final guidance, the request for information provides useful information for employers to consider in establishing policies for nursing employees.”
