The Kentucky Pregnant Workers Act, which became law in June
2019, amended the Kentucky Civil Rights Act by requiring companies
with operations in the state to provide reasonable accommodations
for pregnancy, childbirth and related conditions. In an article for
Kentucky SHRM, Louisville attorney Paul Goatley explains that the
Act expanded the definition of "reasonable
accommodations" to include a number of accommodations not
included in the federal pregnancy law. The new law applies to
employers with 15 or more employees.
