 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 4306

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 February 4, 2025
 ___________

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

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to patient hospital
 admissions form and authorization for visitation and surgery to be
 made by domestic partners

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

 1 Section 1. Section 2805-b of the public health law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 6 to read as follows:
 3 6. The staff of a general hospital shall inquire whether or not the
 4 person admitted wishes to designate a person as a domestic partner who
 5 in the absence and unavailability of a next-of-kin or nearest relative
 6 shall have all of the privileges of a next-of-kin respecting visitation
 7 and authorization for surgery should the person admitted subsequently
 8 become unable to grant such authorization and has given no specific
 9 instructions, and becomes unable to execute a health-care proxy or make
 10 decisions about their health care. Such information shall be listed on
 11 the admissions form. The staff shall respect the wishes of the person
 12 admitted respecting such authorization only to the same extent as they
 13 would for a person who is the next-of-kin. Provided, however, that noth-
 14 ing in this subdivision shall be deemed to grant a domestic partner any
 15 greater rights or privileges than those that would be recognized for a
 16 next-of-kin. Provided, further, however, that nothing in this subdivi-
 17 sion shall preclude the use of a health-care proxy or living will or
 18 both for such purpose and unless revoked the provisions of such proxy or
 19 living will or both shall prevail over any designation made on an admis-
 20 sions form pursuant to this subdivision.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
 22 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
 23 ment and/or repeal of any rules or regulations necessary for the imple-
 24 mentation of the foregoing section of this act on its effective date are
 25 authorized to be made and completed on or before such effective date.

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