Amid giggles, House kills Missoula legislator's ban on 'provocative' clothes
Source: Associated Press
A Montana legislative panel has moved to kill a bill that would tighten the state's indecent exposure law and consequently ban some provocative clothing.
Members of the House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to table House Bill 365 Wednesday. Missoula Republican Rep. David "Doc" Moore introduced it on Tuesday.
The proposal would have expanded the definition of indecent exposure to include garments that give the appearance of a person's buttocks, genitals, pelvis or nipple. Moore said the bill could outlaw some provocative clothing, and later said he thinks yoga pants should be illegal in public.
Although members of the committee giggled about the bill, no discussion was allowed before the voice call vote to table it.

- Now, far be it from me that I would endorse a restriction on the freedom of expression to wear whatever clothes that reflects one's inner beauty. But beauty in yoga pants is a relative thing. And sometimes too much beauty isn't always a good thing.
I promise.
