        AN ACT to amend the public  health  law,  in  relation  to  reproductive
          services
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Article 41 of the public health law is amended by adding  a
     2  new title 6-A to read as follows:
     3                                 TITLE VI-A
     4                            REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES
     5  Section 4166. Access to reproductive services.
     6    §  4166.  Access  to reproductive services. The state shall not deny a
     7  woman's right to obtain an abortion as established by the United  States
     8  Supreme  Court in the decision Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S.113 (1973). Notwith-
     9  standing any law to the contrary, New York protects a woman's  right  to
    10  terminate  a pregnancy within twenty-four weeks from commencement of her
    11  pregnancy, or when necessary to protect a  woman's  life  or  health  as
    12  determined by a licensed physician.
    13    Nothing in this section shall be construed to conflict with any appli-
    14  cable  state  or  federal  law  or  regulation  permitting a health care
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD09920-01-5

     1  provider to refrain from providing abortions due to the provider's reli-
     2  gious or moral beliefs.
     3    Nothing in this section shall conflict with the partial birth abortion
     4  ban codified under 18 USC section 1531.
     5    No  prosecution or proceeding shall be brought or maintained under the
     6  penal law or otherwise for acts that are authorized or permitted  pursu-
     7  ant to this section or by  this chapter and the education law.
     8    Subdivisions  two  and  three  of  section  125.05, subdivision two of
     9  section 125.15, subdivision three of section 125.20 and sections 125.40,
    10  125.45, 125.50, 125.55 and 125.60 of the penal law are  hereby  repealed
    11  to the extent that they are inconsistent with this section.
    12    §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
    13  have become a law.
