Administrative History
Authored and sponsored by Assemblymember Amy Paulin of the 88th District, the Emergency Contraception Bull was introduced
to the New York State Assembly in 2001 as the "Unintended Pregnancy Prevention Act." Proponents of the legislation argued
that women's access to emergency contraception would eliminate unintended pregnancies and ultimately, lower the number of
abortions across the state of New York. The bill would have authorized "nurses and pharmacists to dispense emergency contraception
upon the prescription and order of a non-patient specific regimen by a licensed physician, certified nurse practitioner, or
licensed midwife." The Emergency Contraception Act was passed by the Assembly in 2003 and 2004, but failed both times to pass
in the Senate. In 2005, legislation passed both houses of the New York State Legislature with bipartisan support but was vetoed
by Governor George Pataki.
