BILL NUMBER: S9490

SPONSOR: BOYLE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to prohibiting the
use of state funds for non-residents seeking an abortion or related
procedures

 
PURPOSE:

To prohibit the use of New York State resources and funding for medical
procedures for nonresidents that result in the termination of a pregnan-
cy.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. amends Section 8 of the state finance law by adding a new
subdivision 17 to read as follows: 17. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
provision of this chapter or any other law, no claim shall be certified
for payment nor shall any payment be made by the comptroller or by any
state department or agency to any non-resident or on behalf of such

non-resident where such payment is intended for the provision of an
abortion or any other related procedure or as reimbursement for the
performance of an abortion otr other related procedure. For the purpose
of this section, "related procedure" shall mean any procedure that
results in the intentional termination of a pregnancy at any stage of
gestation.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Under no circumstances should state funds or resources be utilized by a
non-resident for the purposes of getting aan abortion or any medical
procedure that would result in the termination of a pregnancy at any
stage of gestation. With the status of abortion rights put squarely into
the jurisdiction of each individual state, it is necessary to expliciti-
ly prohibit out of state nonresidents from coming to New York State to
end a pregnancy. This bill will prohibit state resources and funds from
being used or reimbursed to non-residents for medical procedures that
terminate a pregnancy at any stage of gestation.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
