Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to funding for abortion services and travel-related expenses for New York state residents that are active duty members of the armed forces of the United States, or the spouse or dependent of such member
AI Summary
This bill amends New York state public health law to provide funding for abortion services and related travel expenses for active duty military members who are New York state residents, or their spouses and dependents, when they are located in a state or country where such services are not legally obtainable and are not covered by military insurance. Specifically, the bill allows funding for both surgical and pharmaceutical abortions when performed by a licensed healthcare practitioner acting within their legal scope of practice. The funding would help military personnel and their families access abortion services in locations where these services might be restricted, ensuring they can receive necessary medical care regardless of their current location. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing for preparatory rule-making to begin immediately upon passage.
