Bill > S01995

This bill amends the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules to provide legal protection for individuals who may be subject to money judgments from other states for actions related to abortion assistance. Specifically, the bill creates exemptions for both personal and real property owned by a person who is facing a money judgment in another state for knowingly aiding or abetting an abortion. Under this legislation, any income or real estate owned by such a person cannot be used to satisfy the money judgment from the out-of-state legal action. This appears to be a response to increasingly restrictive abortion laws in some states, offering a form of financial protection for individuals who might help someone obtain an abortion in a jurisdiction where it remains legal. The bill provides broad protection, covering various types of personal property and real estate, and is designed to take effect immediately upon passage.
