Rant update
Now that I am over yesterdays rant, I did some further research. There are proposed laws to protect public breastfeeding that will coming up for review this year.
In a nut shell , they establish a fine of up to $300.00 but no less than $100.00 for anyone who harasses, causes emotional stress, or asks a woman to stop breastfeeding her child while in any establishment or public place where children are otherwise allowed.( If you'd like to check out the legal lingo you can find it here)
On a federal level breastfeeding in public is allowed, but it has been up to individual states to address what laws are to be in place that protect a breastfeeding mother from harassment in public places or being told to leave public establishments.
