Unfortunately this BILL is far from YAY! breastfeeding should be a
right not a "freedom". This "law" (and it isn't even that really)
isn't worth much more than the paper it's written on, if that. It
does nothing to protect a mom's right to nurse, it doesn't even
mention the word right, that was struck out in favor of "freedom".
It has no penalties in place whatsoever since the amendment was
cut. So while a business owner can't have a mom arrested for NIP
(and noone can ever do that, period, law or not) it doesn't prevent
him from revoking her right to be in the place of business and thus
can render her a trespasser which is an arrestable offense.
