Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring search engines and social media networks to include a consumer notice on limited services pregnancy center listings and posts
AI Summary
This bill requires search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing and social media networks like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to provide a clear and conspicuous consumer notice when displaying listings or posts from limited services pregnancy centers (also known as crisis pregnancy centers). The notice must inform users that these centers provide limited medical and abortion care and do not have licensed medical professionals onsite. The bill defines a "limited services pregnancy center" as a facility primarily serving pregnant or potentially pregnant clients that does not provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare services, and specifically excludes licensed healthcare facilities and adoption agencies. The legislation mandates that these notices be included for both search engine listings and social media posts, as well as for advertisements purchased by such centers. This requirement aims to ensure that consumers are fully informed about the nature and potential limitations of services offered by these centers before seeking care or information.
