S 6502 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires gynecological services to be offered to certain incarcerated individuals

This bill requires all state and local correctional facilities to provide annual, no-cost gynecological services to incarcerated people with cervixes. Facilities must offer these services unless an individual declines in writing, and they must report annually on service uptake and written declinations. The law defines gynecological services as part of "routine medical care" under existing correctional health regulations. It applies directly to incarcerated individuals with cervixes, ensuring access to standard preventive and diagnostic care without financial or administrative barriers.
