N.Y. Social Services Law Section 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.
