A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of health and mental hygiene to make medication abortion available at no cost to a patient at all of its sexual health clinics

Summary

The law currently requires the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to make FDA-approved medication for medication abortion available at no cost to patients at certain health clinics that it operates where services relating to sexual health are offered. This bill would expand this requirement to specify that DOHMH must make this medication available at all health clinics that it operates where services relating to sexual health are offered.
