A new federal ruling that toppled a ban on women going topless could apply to statutes in Utah — but not unless there’s a specific challenge here.
The decision from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court addressed an ordinance in Fort Collins, Colo., that banned women from bearing their breasts. And it applies only to that city, according to FOX 13, rather than all of the states the appellate court covers: Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Wyoming.
“To the extent that ordinance is problematic from an equal protection standpoint, it applies to that ordinance itself,” Peter Stirba, a civil attorney who represents a number of cities across Utah, told FOX 13.
