NY A01165

Defines "emergency medical condition" to include severe symptoms risking serious injury, impairment to bodily functions, risks to future fertility, or for pregnant persons in active labor where transfer is unsafe; explicitly includes ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy complications, sepsis, preeclampsia, and other conditions

Requires all general hospitals to provide medical screening examinations and stabilizing treatment for emergency conditions, with "stabilizing treatment" explicitly including abortion when failure to provide one would result in material deterioration of the patient's condition

Prohibits hospitals from transferring patients with unstabilized emergency conditions unless the patient requests transfer in writing or a health care practitioner certifies the medical benefits of transfer outweigh the risks

Prohibits hospitals from retaliating against health care practitioners who refuse to authorize transfers of unstabilized patients, provide necessary stabilizing treatment, or report violations of these requirements

Authorizes the Attorney General to bring actions for violations with civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation, and prohibits hospitals from limiting practitioners' ability to provide medically accurate information about diagnosis, prognosis, treatment options, and risks to patients
