effectiveness of a plan, and assessing the costs and
benefits of farming operations and practices. If
requested by a producer, the Secretary shall provide

payments, or benefits of a program participant as a result of
the planting of a resource-conserving crop.

Acreage devoted to resource-conserving crops under this program
may, at the discretion of the producer, be designated as normal
flex acreage.
''(6) Adjustments in production adjustment requirements.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary shall
make fair and equitable adjustments in acreage limitation
requirements applicable to a producer participating in the
program giving due consideration to crop rotation, special
conservation practices, rotational grazing, biomass production,
and other appropriate factors resulting from the implementation
of a plan. If the Secretary determines that the reduction in
program crop production on a participating farm referred to in
the preceding sentence will equal or exceed any reduction in
crop production which, in the absence of participation in the
program, would occur as a result of acreage limitation
requirements, the Secretary shall waive such acreage limitation
requirements for the farm. If the resource conserving crop
includes a farm program feed grain crop planted on the base
acres of another farm program feed grain crop, the Secretary
shall take into account the established or county average yield
of the two feed grains for the purposes of making the
adjustment or waiver.
''(7) Total base acreage flexibility.--Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, the Secretary shall allow participants
in this program to plant farm program crops and oilseeds in any
proportion on a producer's total acreage of farm program crop
base and historic oilseeds acreage without affecting farm
program payments.
''(8) Crop insurance.--Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, acreage devoted to resource-conserving crops under this
program shall be eligible for crop insurance pursuant to the
Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
''(9) Haying and grazing restriction.--
''(A) In general.--The Secretary shall not make any
farm program payments to a producer, who is otherwise
eligible to receive such payments, for acreage enrolled
in the program if the producer, during the consecutive
five month period in each State in which haying and
grazing of conserving use acres may be prohibited under
the provisions of this Act, grazes breeding cattle or
nursing calves or harvests and sells hay on payment
acres.
''(B) Transition option.--The restriction in
subparagraph (A) shall not apply in the case of a
producer who agrees to retire all base acreage enrolled
in the program at the end of the agreement period.
''(C) Emergency haying and grazing.--The Secretary
shall release acreage devoted to resource-conserving
crops for emergency haying and grazing as the result of
a natural disaster when the Secretary permits unlimited
haying and grazing on--
''(i) reduced acreage under this Act;
''(ii) acreage devoted to a conservation
use under this Act;
''(iii) acreage diverted from production
under a land diversion program established
under this Act; or
''(iv) acreage enrolled in the conservation
reserve program under the Food Security Act of
1985 (16 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).''.
(b) Conforming Repeal.--Section 1451 of the Food, Agriculture,
Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 5822) is repealed.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Breastfeeding Promotion Act''.

TITLE I--AMENDMENT TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ''Pregnancy Discrimination Act
Amendments of 2001''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Women with infants and toddlers are a rapidly growing
segment of the labor force today.
(2) Statistical surveys of families show that over 50
percent of mothers with children less than 1 year of age are in
the labor force.
(3) The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
mothers breastfeed for at least the 1st year of a child's life
and that arrangements be made to allow a mother's expressing of
milk if mother and child must separate.
(4) Research studies show that children who are not
breastfed have higher rates of mortality, meningitis, some
types of cancers, asthma and other respiratory illnesses,
bacterial and viral infections, diarrhoeal diseases, ear
infections, allergies, and obesity.
(5) Research studies have also shown that breastmilk and
breastfeeding have protective effects against the development
of a number of chronic diseases, including juvenile diabetes,
lymphomas, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, some chronic liver
diseases, and ulcerative colitis.
(6) Maternal benefits of breastfeeding include a reduced
risk for postpartum hemorrhage and decreased risk for
developing osteoporosis, ovarian cancer, and premenopausal
breast cancer.
(7) The health benefits to children from breastfeeding
translate into a threefold decrease in parental absenteeism due
to infant illness.
(8) Congress intended to include breastfeeding and
expressing breast milk as protected conduct under the amendment
made by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 to title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
(9) Although title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
so amended, applies with respect to ''pregnancy, childbirth, or
related medical conditions'', a few courts have failed to reach
the conclusion that breastfeeding and expressing breast milk in
the workplace are covered by the such title.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
(1) to promote the health and well-being of infants whose
mothers return to the workplace after childbirth, and
(2) to clarify that breastfeeding and expressing breast
milk in the workplace are protected conduct under the amendment
made by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 to title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

SEC. 103. AMENDMENT TO TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.

Section 701(k) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e(k))
is amended--
(1) by inserting ''(including lactation)'' after
''childbirth'', and
(2) by adding at the end the following: ''For purposes of
this subsection, the term 'lactation' means a condition that
may result in the feeding of a child directly from the breast
or the expressing of milk from the breast.''.
