 Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN -- read once and referred to the Committee

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring disclo-
 sure of information concerning non-invasive prenatal screening for
 chromosomal abnormalities

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

 1 Section 1. The public health law is amended by adding a new section
 2 2533 to read as follows:
 3 § 2533. Disclosure of information concerning non-invasive prenatal
 4 screening for chromosomal abnormalities. 1. For the purposes of this
 5 section, the term "non-invasive prenatal screening" shall mean any non-
 6 invasive prenatal screening or cell free fetal DNA screening used to
 7 ascertain whether a fetus is at risk for certain chromosomal abnor-
 8 malities.
 9 2. Non-invasive prenatal screenings shall be accompanied by a written
 10 notice, provided by the entity which manufactured, supplied, or other-
 11 wise created such test or which advertised performing these prenatal
 12 screening tests, about the use of such test for screening purposes, the
 13 fact that not all high risk occurrences correspond to a positive result,
 14 the fact that not all low risk results correspond to a negative result,
 15 a clear statement indicating that non-invasive prenatal screenings are
 16 intended solely for screening purposes to assess risk of possible fetal
 17 genetic abnormalities and is not intended to be used for diagnostic
 18 purposes to determine whether such abnormalities actually exist and that
 19 any positive result should be followed by confirmatory diagnostic test-
 20 ing, and that additional follow up is recommended for all high risk
 21 screening. Such written notice shall be provided to a patient or a
 22 potential parent: (a) prior to any prenatal test; (b) with such test
 23 results; and (c) with any materials provided by the entity providing

 1 or facilitating the prenatal testing. Such written notice shall be
 2 reviewed and approved by the department. Such written notice shall be
 3 plainly worded and prominently displayed in any material presented to a
 4 patient or a potential parent about prenatal testing services.
 5 c. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to limit a
 6 health care practitioner licensed, certified, or authorized under title
 7 eight of the education law from recommending certain prenatal testing
 8 services according to the practitioner's reasonable and good faith
 9 professional judgment based on the facts of a patient's case.
 10 § 2. Section 266 of the public health law is amended by adding a new
 11 subdivision 7 to read as follows:
 12 7. Non-invasive prenatal testing. In addition to the information
 13 provided pursuant to this section, the commissioner shall also develop
 14 comprehensive informational materials regarding the benefits and limita-
 15 tions of non-invasive prenatal testing, including the difference between
 16 non-invasive prenatal testing and prenatal diagnostic testing. Such
 17 information
