Bill > S02127

This bill addresses state-funded travel restrictions to states with laws that limit reproductive health services, specifically targeting states with abortion restrictions of six weeks or less after pregnancy. The legislation requires all state agencies, departments, boards, divisions, authorities, and commissions to review requests for state-funded or state-sponsored travel to these states starting January 1, 2026. Under the bill, such travel would be suspended unless it is necessary for enforcing New York state law, meeting prior contractual obligations, protecting public health and safety, or is otherwise in the state's interest. The attorney general is tasked with maintaining and publishing an updated list of states with discriminatory reproductive health laws on their website. The key purpose of the bill is to discourage and protest state laws that significantly restrict access to reproductive healthcare, particularly abortion services, by limiting state-sponsored interactions with those jurisdictions. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
