Rep. David Moore (R) of Montana wants to strengthen the state's indecent exposure laws to include tight-fitting clothing, including Speedos and yoga pants.
Moore is introducing a bill to the Montana legislature after naked bicyclists rode through Missoula in August. His proposed bill, HB 365, would ban "any device, costume, or covering that gives the appearance of or simulates the genitals, pubic hair, anus region, or public hair region."
