New York S09580 mandates the Department of Health to create and maternal health care providers to distribute written information about episiotomy to.

New York S09580 requires the Department of Health to develop written information about episiotomy for maternity patients. Maternal health care providers must distribute this information to patients before delivery if a vaginal delivery is planned, and after delivery if it was not planned prenatally. The information must cover potential maternal injuries, circumstances where an episiotomy may be necessary, and the requirement for patient consent. The commissioner will consult with health care professionals, providers, consumers, and educators to develop the written communication.
