 Introduced by M. of A. BURDICK -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to the consider-
 ation of gender affirming care in custody matters

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

 1 Section 1. The domestic relations law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 75-n to read as follows:
 3 § 75-n. Consideration of providing gender affirming care. 1. The court
 4 may not grant, deny or decide a petition for guardianship, custody or
 5 visitation solely on the allegation or basis that a parent or guardian
 6 is providing or facilitating the provision of gender affirming care to
 7 the subject child.
 8 2. As used in this section, "gender affirming care" means care for the
 9 subject child which encompasses a range of social, psychological, behav-
 10 ioral, and medical interventions designed to support and affirm an indi-
 11 vidual's gender identity when it conflicts with the gender they were
 12 assigned at birth.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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