↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Adds new criminal prohibitions on tactics (repeated calls to tie up lines, releasing noxious odors, and noise after police order) intended to disrupt reproductive health clinics or jeopardize patients' health, so more regulation and protection of clinic operations.
such person makes or causes to be made repeated telephone calls to a health care facility, whether or not conversation ensues, with the intent to impede access to a health care facility's telephone lines or otherwise disrupt a health care facility's activities
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Law § 240.70 to expand criminal offenses against reproductive health clinics by adding prohibitions on phone-line interference, release of offensive odors, and certain noise, all aimed at protecting clinic operations and patient health from disruptive tactics. It also updates existing property-damage language. These provisions substantively address abortion via provider-clinic-regulation (expands) but do not address gestational limits, funding, personhood, or other listed topics.
