BILL NUMBER:S3484 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to female genital mutilation PURPOSE: To strengthen current law to address female genital mutilation through "vacation cutting" in which young women are sent out of state to undergo the procedure SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends subdivision 1 of section 130.85 of the penal law, as amended by chapter 618 of the laws of 1997, to provide that a person who knowingly removes or causes the removal of a person less than 18 years old from this State for the purpose of circumcising, excising, or infibulating the whole or any part of the female genitalia of such person is guilty of female genital mutilation. Section two provides the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Female genital mutilation (FGM) refers to a harmful traditional practice primarily on girls under the age of 18 and that consists of procedures performed on the female genitalia without a medical purpose. FGM ranges from clitoridectomy, the removal of part or all of the clitoris, to infibulation, in which all of the outer genitalia are removed and the vagina is sealed, often with stitches, except for a small opening.
