.Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal’s bill S.7089 passed out of Chair Gustavo Rivera's Health Committee! This bill brings NYS law into alignment with CDC guidance on HIV testing. Passing this bill is essential to ending AIDS statewide.
Today, 10 bills passed the New York State Senate Health Committee including my new bill to require valuable community input & strengthen state review for proposed hospital or unit closures. We also passed my bill to allow undocumented New Yorkers to receive kidney transplants.
