How do I get KY BFing laws?

[crunchyconmomma]

We are moving to KY very soon and I was wondering if any of you have any leads on how to find out what KY law does/does not state about BF. I think I should get the addresses to contact the state gov't directly because the internet seems "iffy" on this sort of thing.
Anyone?

it looks like ky doesn't have any bfing legislation (at least not when this site was updated):

What liam's mom said. But you are protected under the federal law that allows women to breastfeed in any place she otherwise has the right to be. I live in southeastern KY and NIP everywhere and have not had any problems.

Ditto to what was already said. If you still want to contact someone, you should be able to find what you need at kentucky.gov

Is there a federal law now that protects a woman's right to bfeed anywhere she has the right to be? Or is it still just the one *on federal property*?

I've actually just started this website: (but it's NOT finished yet!) I work in state gov't, and later this month, I'm meeting with our Cabinet for Health Services - Division of Public Health regarding some legislation that they are hoping to propose the next legislative session.
