Within the United States, approximately twelve percent of women face difficulties getting pregnant. § 2. Authorization of study and study scope. 1. The commissioner of health (hereinafter "the commissioner") is hereby authorized and directed to conduct a study and issue a report examining the unmet health and resource needs facing women with polycystic ovarian syndrome in New York state, and the impact of service and resources for women to obtain accurate non-coercive health care information and timely access to a comprehensive range of reproductive and sexual health care services EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
