Requires the health department to maintain confidentiality of reproductive health providers and patients (unless for referrals), and allows providers to opt out of dissemination, which protects abortion providers and patients from out-of-state investigations or enforcement actions.
The department shall take all necessary steps to ensure the confidentiality of providers of these services and of the individuals receiving services unless necessary for the purpose of referring individuals for reproductive health services. A provider may request that their information be omitted from dissemination under this program.

↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Creates a state education and outreach program on reproductive health services that includes information on access to contraceptives, pregnancy testing, STI testing/treatment, reproductive health counseling, telehealth access, clinic locators, financial assistance, and other reproductive health info
The department shall conduct education and outreach for consumers, patients, educators, and health care providers related to women's and reproductive health services available in New York state including, but not limited to: preventative care, cancer screenings, access to services such as contraceptives and pregnancy testing, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and any other reproductive health condition or information the commissioner shall deem appropriate.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates and expands a DOH education/outreach program on reproductive health services (including contraceptives, pregnancy testing, STI services, counseling, telehealth, clinic locators, and financial assistance) and adds strong confidentiality protections for providers and patients receiving reproductive health services. These provisions substantively address abortion by expanding access to and shielding reproductive health services (including abortion-related ones) via education, resources, and confidentiality measures that function as a shield against interstate enforcement.
