§ 131-e. Family planning services. Each social services commissioner
shall require that appropriate members of his staff personally advise
eligible needy persons periodically of the availability at public
expense of family planning services for the prevention of pregnancy and
inquire whether such persons desire to have such services furnished to
them. In those cases where such services are desired, they shall be
made available at public expense under appropriate provisions of this
chapter. Nothing herein shall be construed, however, to require or
permit coercion of such persons to request or receive family planning
services.
