Bill > S07714

This bill directs the New York State Department of Health to create a comprehensive informational pamphlet about intrauterine devices (IUDs), a long-acting reversible form of contraception. The pamphlet must include detailed information about different types of IUDs, their uses in pregnancy prevention and medical condition management, potential risks and side effects, the insertion and removal process, pain management during the procedure, recovery expectations, overall effectiveness, and alternative contraceptive methods. The pamphlet must be written in plain language and made available in English and the six most common non-English languages spoken by individuals with limited English proficiency in New York State. It will be published on the department's website as a printable file and potentially available for printed order. Healthcare practitioners (defined as licensed professionals practicing within their scope) will be required to distribute this pamphlet to patients seeking or discussing contraceptive options. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, aiming to provide patients with comprehensive, accessible information about IUDs to support informed reproductive healthcare decisions.
