5.990 Protecting NYS Practitioners Delivering Contraception and Abortion Care
MSSNY will support measures to protect practitioners licensed and residing in New York from legal or personal liability when delivering healthcare services to residents of New York State or any other state, whether in person or via telemedicine, when the services provided comply with New York State laws and regulations.
MSSNY will adopt as policy and support legislation to provide protections, including against extradition to any other state, for providers who perform comprehensive women’s health services that are legal in New York State.
MSSNY will seek legislation or regulation that allows anyone sued in another state for providing or helping someone access reproductive health services in New York to file their own legal action for unlawful interference with a protected right, and to recover damages from the out of state litigant.
