S 4624 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the crime of assault on a pregnant individual

This bill creates a new class D felony offense for intentionally or knowingly causing injury to a person known to be pregnant, including injuries resulting in pregnancy termination. It specifically excludes medical procedures like abortions (with consent) or general medical treatment from this law. The law aligns with existing public health regulations and updates felony classifications to include this offense. This directly affects individuals who assault pregnant people and healthcare providers performing authorized medical care.
