Nice UTAH Utah enacted legislation clarifying a woman’s right to breastfeed in public, even if there was some exposure of the breast. It exempts breastfeeding from indecent exposure statutes. Utah is also one of the few states in the U.S. that provides consideration of breastfeeding in family law cases. The lack of reasonable alternatives of a nursing child is a factor the court can consider in determining whether the standard parenting schedule would apply. Note that under their guidelines, full weekend visitation and one-week periods in the summer would begin at 18 months of age. Added by Acts 2003, 78th Leg., ch. 1274, § 3, eff. April 1, 2005.

(2) (a) A woman's breast feeding, including breast feeding in any place where the woman otherwise may rightfully be, does not under any circumstance constitute an obscene or lewd act, irrespective of whether or not the breast is covered during or incidental to feeding. (b) Boards of Commissioners and City Councils of Cities may not prohibit a woman's breast feeding in any location where she otherwise may rightfully be, irrespective of whether the breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breastfeeding. 10-8-50.

Lewdness -- Gross lewdness. (5) A woman's breast feeding, including breast feeding in any place where the woman otherwise may rightfully be, does not under any circumstance constitute a lewd or grossly lewd act, irrespective of whether or not the breast is covered during or incidental to feeding. 76-10-1229.5. Breast Feeding is not Violation of this Part. A woman's breast feeding, including breast feeding in any location where the woman otherwise may rightfully be, does not under any circumstance constitute a violation of this part, irrespective of whether or not the breast is covered during or incidental to feeding. :D Utah is full of Mothers, so I expected something similar to this
