 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. CRUZ -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to withholding fund-
 ing from certain entities who decline to make available, dispense,
 distribute, or sell a product approved by the federal government which
 would block, prevent, or otherwise negate a pregnancy

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 2599-bb of the public health law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 3 to read as follows:
 3 3. The commissioner is authorized to withhold any and all funds due to
 4 any retail entity reimbursed from a medical assistance program for
 5 income eligible individuals that declines to make available, dispense,
 6 distribute, or sell a product approved by the federal government which
 7 would block, prevent, or otherwise negate a pregnancy in any jurisdic-
 8 tion within and subject to such federal government. The commissioner may
 9 elect to determine to withhold such funds due to the acts of a retail
 10 entity doing business in another state or jurisdiction which has a
 11 common ownership or brand with a retail entity doing business in this
 12 state.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
