Minnesota representatives voted Monday to eliminate a plan calling for a doctor’s order before a daycare provider places an infant on its back or stomach for sleep.
Opponents of the measure said it strips parental rights; supporters said it was aimed at reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
The House voted 88-42 to remove the provision from a welfare and child assistance bill, which was approved 104-27.
