Clarifying that gender reassignment surgery that will result in sterilization is not subject to a waiting period.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to clarifying that gender reassignment surgery that will result in sterilization is not subject to a waiting period

This bill would amend the City’s sterilization waiting period and consent law by clarifying that medical procedures that do not have sterilization as their primary purpose, but which instead may sterilize the patient as a byproduct of such procedure, such as some gender reassignment surgeries, are not subject to the provisions of such law.
