(As I understand it, I think that the City of Chandler felt forced to
make this policy, as anything else would directly oppose the state of
Arizona's indecency laws.  There is a group that was formed after the
Chandler pool incident to work with the City of Chandler, and to also
support work that is already been done to bring in bfing support
legislation at the state level - see

Breast-feeding moms told to cover up or be cited

Mothers who breast-feed on Chandler city property must cover up, go 
to a private spot or leave if someone complains. Refuse and they 
could face criminal trespassing charges.

The rule takes effect this week after the City Council made no 
objections to an "administrative directive" released Monday by 
Community Services Director Mark Eynatten. 

Resident Christia Bridges-Jones was among several women who earlier 
urged the city to not regulate public breast-feeding after a nursing 
mother was asked to leave a city pool picnic area earlier this summer.
"I'm flabbergasted that Chandler would take a position like this," 
she said. "It's a basic human right that my child be fed in a place 
where other children are fed."
