                                BILL NUMBER:S7330

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public health law, in relation to directing the department
of health to establish and maintain an internet website to advance
women's health initiatives

PURPOSE:
Directs the Department of Health (DOH) to establish an internet
website to advance women's health initiatives.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section one creates a new title under which the DOH shall establish
and maintain an internet website for the purpose of advancing women's
health initiatives. Information shall be provided for the purposes of
educating the public, raising awareness of women's health issues and
providing links to useful resources. The website shall include
information detailing the expansion of preventative coverage under
federal and state law. This section also requires the DOH to consider
making use of social media networks for the purposes of further
advancing women's health initiatives.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Affordable Care Act makes several changes to public programs,
insurance and other aspects of health policy that affect women's

health. In 2010, provisions took effect on the federal level and were
implemented into state law which expand coverage of certain
preventative measures for women's health. The establishment of an
up-to-date website would greatly assist women in understanding these
and other changes as they take effect.

Further, the website should provide timely information on health
issues of importance to women.
The availability of such educational materials and resources will help
raise awareness among women. The federal government provides a website
(http://www.womenshealth.gov/) for similar purposes, New Yorker's
should have access to a similar site specific to New York. When
considering the policy options to improve the health of women, one
suggestion presented by the
National Conference of State Legislatures was to support policies that
effectively use alternative media (i.e. social networking) for the
purposes of promoting and communicating with women.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
