Effective July 1, 2008, Indiana employers will be required, to the extent reasonably possible, to provide private locations for breastfeeding employees to express milk during break periods.

In the case of Pflanz v. Foster, et al., a complaint was filed seeking, among other relief, contribution for cleanup costs pursuant to Indiana's Underground Storage Tank Act, post-clean-up damages for stigma to real estate, and declaratory relief for future anticipated cleanup costs. The trial court dismissed under the theory that because the Pflanzes, who had owned the property since the mid-1980s, "knew or should have known" of the contamination on their property for over ten years, the statute of limitations barred their claim.
