Thank you for your support of the NYS Catholic Action Network. The 2021 Legislative Session in Albany has adjourned, although lawmakers may return at some point this summer if agreement is reached on certain legislation. We appreciate your action on several bills throughout the session. Here are updates on legislation of interest to the New York State Catholic Conference.
Stop Assisted Suicide | New York State Catholic Conference
Physician-assisted suicide bills in New York, like similar bills that have passed in several other states, lack important safeguards, making coercion or misapplication of the law a serious threat.
*UPDATE ON PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE IN NYS: Sen. Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) introduced the Senate version of the PAS bill on April 30th. The bill (S.6471-Savino/A.4321-A-Paulin) has not been considered at the committee level in the Senate or Assembly. This year’s legislative session ends June 10th.
