Pennsylvania HB526 amends the Freedom to Breastfeed Act to clarify that breastfeeding in public is permitted and cannot be considered a nuisance, indecent exposure, sexual conduct, or obscenity.

Those who experience such violations can seek legal action to enjoin future denials, recover statutory damages of $1,000 per violation, and recover reasonable attorney fees and litigation expenses within two years of the violation.
