Signage regarding transgender rights and services at hospitals.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to signage regarding transgender rights and services at hospitals

This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to distribute signs on an individual’s right to be referred to by a preferred name, title, gender and pronoun to every hospital in the city. This bill would also require DOHMH to establish guidance to encourage hospitals to list and conspicuously post the transgender-specific services offered by each hospital, and would require DOHMH to post such guidance on its website.
