I just watched the video clip, (there is a link on the same page).

The video clip seems to make it sound like you cannot "interfere" with
breastfeeding moms, and there are fines ($10 - $100 for 1st offence).  This
would clearly answer the discussion of whether asking for someone to move or
cover is actually preventing them from breastfeeding (many offenders have
argued that they are not asking them not to breastfed, they are only asking
them to modify they way they breastfeed.)

I think ordinances that specify that you cannot interfere with or harass a
bfing mom are the way to go.  And clear penalties would be very helpful, and
give teeth to these bylaws.

(I'm very curious to know the exact wording of this ordinance)
