The Florida Breastfeeding Law & You

You have the right to breastfeed in public - it is the law.
Florida Legislation February 1993
Section 1. The breastfeeding of a baby is an important and basic act of nurture which must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health and family values. A mother may breastfeed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether or not the nipple of the mother's breast is covered during or incidental to the breastfeeding.
House Bill  #HB 231 Fl. ALS 4; 1993 Fl. Laws ch. 4; 1993 Fl. HB 231 Fl. Stat. 383.015 /
