A05576 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A5576
 
SPONSOR: Sillitti
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring certain information about the facility to be included in the informational mate- rial provided to prospective maternity patients at all hospitals and birth centers   PURPOSE: This legislation would require certain information about the facility to be included in the informational material provided to prospective mater- nity patients at all hospitals and birth centers.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 adds a new paragraph (n) to Subdivision 2 of section 2803-j of the Public Health Law. This new language requires information related to the conduct of safety drills, whether a facility participates in quality improvement initiatives, whether an agreement haS a policy to arrange emergency transfer if care for critically ill pregnant people/infants, whether a facility has a written community needs assessment plan to reduce racial disparities and address community needs, whether an autop- sy is available upon request for stillbirth, and if bereavement services are offered.   JUSTIFICATION: This legislation seeks to provide information and to increase transpar- ency as it relates to the racial disparities of pregnancy and birth outcomes. Further this bill seeks to expand on an already existing law that is aimed at presenting important information to prospective moth- ers. There is significant evidence that expectant mothers in minority communities are presented with limited options for prenatal care and childbirth, we need to provide information to expectant mothers that will help them make an informed decision. Statistics have presented that black women are at least three times more likely to die from preg- nancy and birth related complications and are 50% more likely to suffer severe pregnancy and birth complications.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S.534 of 2021; Passed Senate in 2021 & 2022 S.8726 of 2020; Referred to Senate Rules Committee   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after 23 it shall have become a law.
