Lawmaker: Yoga pants should be illegal

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana legislative panel moved to kill an indecent exposure bill recently after the lawmaker who introduced it said he thinks yoga pants should be illegal.

Members of the House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to table the bill proposed by Rep. David Moore

The Republican from Missoula said he wouldn’t have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing such as tight-fitting beige garments. Moore also said yoga pants should be illegal.

Although members of the committee giggled about the bill, no discussion was allowed before a voice vote to table it.

Moore and retired professor Walt Hill drafted the bill after last summer’s Bare as you Dare bicycle event, during which many of the participants rode through downtown Missoula completely nude.
