 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PERSAUD -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to doula access
 during emergency situations

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

 1 Section 1. Section 2500-m of the public health law, as amended by a
 2 chapter of the laws of 2024 amending the public health law relating to
 3 permitting expecting and new mothers' access to their doulas, as
 4 proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 5992-A and A. 6168-A, is
 5 amended to read as follows:
 6 § 2500-m. Access to doulas. (a) When a person is admitted to a mater-
 7 nal health care facility for delivery and/or inpatient care post-deliv-
 8 ery, such person may designate a doula to have access to such person.
 9 The maternal health care facility shall not deny such person access to
 10 such person's designated doula. For the purposes of this section, the
 11 term "maternal health care facility" shall mean a hospital or freestand-
 12 ing birthing center providing perinatal services in accordance with
 13 article twenty-eight of this chapter and applicable regulations.
 14 (b) Nothing in this section shall require a maternal health care
 15 facility to grant a doula access to a person or area of the facility
 16 during emergencies or when such access could compromise the safety of
 17 the patient or health care team.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same
 19 manner as a chapter of the laws of 2024 amending the public health law
 20 relating to permitting expecting and new mothers' access to their
 21 doulas, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 5992-A and A.
 22 6168-A, takes effect.
