A 11581 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the right to breast feed

This bill updates the state's civil rights law to use gender-neutral language when protecting the right to breastfeed. It allows any person to breastfeed their baby in any location where they are otherwise permitted, regardless of whether their nipple is covered. By replacing terms like "mother" and "her" with "person" and "their," the legislation ensures the protection applies equally to individuals of all genders. The change takes effect immediately upon passage.
