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 to provide a clear and conspicuous consumer notice when users search for abortion or pregnancy care listings that identifies certain facilities as "limited services pregnancy centers" (also known as crisis pregnancy centers), explicitly stating that these centers do not have licensed medical professionals onsite. Similarly, social media networks including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, and Flickr must include the same type of consumer notice on any posts or advertisements from these limited services pregnancy centers. The bill defines a "limited services pregnancy center" as a facility primarily serving pregnant or potentially pregnant clients that does not provide or refer for comprehensive reproductive and sexual health care services covered by Medicaid. The notice requirement applies to both search engine listings and social media posts, including advertisements, with the goal of providing consumers with transparent information about the nature and medical capabilities of these centers. The law would take effect immediately upon passage.
