N.Y. Social Services Law § 131-e: Family planning services

§ 131-e. Family planning services. Each social services commissioner

shall require that appropriate members of his staff personally advise

eligible needy persons periodically of the availability at public

expense of family planning services for the prevention of pregnancy and

inquire whether such persons desire to have such services furnished to

them. In those cases where such services are desired, they shall be

made available at public expense under appropriate provisions of this

chapter. Nothing herein shall be construed, however, to require or

permit coercion of such persons to request or receive family planning

services.
