Indiana legislators have advanced a weakened version of a requirement sought by the governor for workplace accommodations for pregnant women…such as longer breaks or transfers to less physical work. An Indiana House committee on Tuesday endorsed a bill that would require responses from businesses to employees who ask for accommodations…but would not mandate meeting any of the requests. A tougher proposal, backed by Gov. Holcomb, failed in the state Senate last year, following opposition from some business groups. Bill sponsor, Republican Rep. Karen Engleman…argues her new proposal would be effective because it would lead to employees and employers talking about the requests.
