Bill > S09076

This bill directs the Department of Health to create an informational pamphlet about intrauterine devices (IUDs), which are long-acting reversible contraceptives. The pamphlet, written in plain language and available in English and the six most common non-English languages in New York, must cover topics such as different types of IUDs, their use in pregnancy prevention and managing medical conditions, potential risks and side effects, the insertion and removal process, recovery, effectiveness, and alternative contraceptive methods. This pamphlet will be accessible on the Department of Health's website for printing or ordering, and healthcare professionals, referred to as "practitioners" and defined as licensed or authorized health care providers acting within their scope of practice, will be required to give it to patients seeking contraceptives or discussing birth control options.
