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.

The new law applies to employers with 15 or more employees.
