Bill seeks to clearly allow breast-feeding in public
Utah now one of just two states lacking such a bill, sponsor says
Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune Rep. Justin Fawson, R-North Ogden, in the Utah House of Representatives, Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Utah is known as a family-friendly state with high birth rates and big families. But it’s not so friendly when it comes to legally allowing mothers to breast-feed in public.
“There are 48 states that have this legislation in place today” to clearly allow public breast-feeding, says Rep. Justin Fawson, R-North Ogden. “Utah is one of the two that does not.”
