BILL NUMBER: S2911 SPONSOR: MURRAY TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law and the family court act, in relation to notice of abortions performed on unemancipated minors PURPOSE: This legislation provides that at least one parent or legal guardian of imemancipated minors (i.e., those who are under the age of 18), receive written notification from a physician or his/her agent within 48 hours prior to the physician's performance of an abortion on that emancipated minor. Notification is not necessary and is deemed waived under the following conditions: (a) When the attending physician certifies that a medical emergency exists, based on the physician's good faith clinical judgment that an abortion is necessary to prevent the death or substantial and irreversible impairment of a bodily function of the minor; (b) The person(s) entitled to notification certifies that they have been noti- fied; or (c) The minor objects to notification and obtains an order from

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2911 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 25, 2023 ___________ Introduced by Sens. MURRAY, BORRELLO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Women's Issues AN ACT to amend the public health law and the family court act, in relation to notice of abortions performed on unemancipated minors THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative purpose and findings. It is the intent of this legislature in enacting this parental notice provision to further the important and compelling state interests of protecting minors against their own immaturity, fostering the family structure and preserving it as a viable social unit, protecting the rights of parents to rear chil- dren who are members of their household, and protecting the health of minor children. The legislature finds that immature minors often lack the ability to make fully-informed choices that take account of both immediate and long-range consequences and that the medical, emotional and psycholog- ical consequences of abortion are serious and can be lasting, partic- ularly when the patient is immature. The legislature further finds that the capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning the wisdom of an abortion are not necessarily related. The legislature finds that parents ordinarily possess information essential to a physician's exercise of his best medical judgment concerning the child and, further, that parents who are aware that their minor daughter has had an abortion may better ensure that she receives adequate medical attention after her abortion. The legislature concludes then, that parental consultation is usually desirable and in the best interest of the minor. § 2. The public health law is amended by adding a new section 2509-b to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
