Lawmakers propose bills to encourage breastfeeding
BATON ROUGE, LA
Republican Rep. Scott Simon, of Abita Springs, and Democratic
Rep. Regina Barrow, of Baton Rouge, want to require state buildings

discreetly and safely. The areas would have to have a lockable
door, a chair, a utility sink and adequate ventilation.
