An act to amend 2014 PA 197, entitled “An act to prohibit discriminatory practices, policies, and customs in the exercise of the right to breastfeed; to provide for enforcement of the right to breastfeed; and to provide remedies,” by amending the title and section 2 (MCL 37.232).
The bill would amend the Breastfeeding Antidiscrimination Act to prohibit discrimination in places of public accommodation or public service against an individual because the individual was expressing human milk. Generally, the Breastfeeding Antidiscrimination Act prohibits discriminatory practices, policies, and customs against an individual who breastfeeds. The Act prohibits a person with control over a public accommodation or public service from doing any of the following: -- Denying the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation or public service to a woman because she is breastfeeding a child. -- Print, circulate, post, mail, or otherwise cause to be published a statement, advertisement, notice, or sign that indicates that the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation or public service will be refused, withheld from, or denied a woman because she is breastfeeding a child, or that a woman's patronage of or presence at a place of public accommodation is objectionable, unwelcome, unacceptable, or undesirable because she is breastfeeding a child. The bill would prohibit a person from discriminating as described above against an individual because the individual was expressing human milk.
