A Current Summary of Breastfeeding Legislation in the U.S.

SUMMARY OF ENACTED BREASTFEEDING LEGISLATION

OHIO

Ohio now has legislation addressing breastfeeding in public. The Governor of Ohio signed SB 41 into law on June 14, 2005, which shall take effect in 90 days (September 12, 2005).

Sec. 3781.55. A mother is entitled to breast-feed her baby in any location of a place of public accommodation wherein the mother otherwise is permitted.

"Place of public accommodation" has the same meaning as in section 4112.01 of the Revised Code.
