Establishes a reproductive health services training grant program
What changed between versions
The program title changed from 'New York State Abortion Clinical Training Program' to 'Reproductive Health Training and Education Grant Program', expanding the focus beyond abortion care to broader reproductive health services.
A new 'Reproductive Health Training and Education Fund' was established in the State Finance Law to provide financial support for the training program.
New definitions were added for 'eligible participant' and 'eligible providers', clarifying who can receive training grants and which organizations can provide training.
The training requirements were updated to include culturally congruent care and implicit bias training alongside clinical training in abortion and related reproductive health services.
Additional committee reports were added to the legislative history, showing the bill was reported from committee multiple times with amendments.
