S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 420 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y (PREFILED) January 9, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN, GOTTFRIED, ENGLEBRIGHT, GALEF, GLICK, ROSENTHAL, BOYLAND -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. AUBRY, BRENNAN, CAHILL, CLARK, COOK, CROUCH, CYMBROWITZ, DINOWITZ, FARRELL, GUNTHER, HEASTIE, HEVESI, HOOPER, JACOBS, JAFFEE, KELLNER, LAVINE, LIFTON, LUPARDO, MILLMAN, MORELLE, PERRY, PRETLOW, THIELE, WEISENBERG, WRIGHT -- read once and referred to the Committee on Health AN ACT to amend the education law, the insurance law and the public health law, in relation to providing for dispensing emergency contra- ception under certain conditions THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "unintended pregnancy prevention act". S 2. Legislative findings. The United States Food and Drug Adminis- tration (FDA) has declared emergency contraceptive pills to be safe and effective in preventing pregnancy when used within 72 hours after unpro- tected intercourse. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecolo- gists and the American College of Nurse-Midwives state that emergency contraception (EC) is so safe, and using it quickly is so important, that it should be available over the counter, without a prescription. They also emphasize the need for unimpeded access to EC for all women of reproductive age. However, although there are no medical reasons to limit provision of EC, the FDA only approved non-prescription access for women 18 years and older. Additionally, the FDA imposed requirements for proving the patient's identity with government-issued identification documents. The need remains, however, to provide access to women who have difficulty obtaining the required identification documents and to women under the age of 17 years. Minors in New York State have long been legally entitled to full access, without parental consent, to all repro- ductive health care and services, including EC. Providing direct access EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
