The sponsor's argument

Why Liz Krueger says this is needed

Reproductive health care practitioners in New York provide needed abortion and related reproductive health care services with limited resources. Providers have been subject to an increasingly tumultuous federal landscape placing additional strain on their limited resources and capacity to provide care. This legislation would provide for transfer of surplus funds that Marketplace insurance providers have been required to place in segre- gated accounts to cover the cost of abortion clinical care in New York, but which remain unused. Segregated funds would be transferred into the Reproductive Health Care Access Fund, from which appropriations would be made to the Reproductive Freedom and Equity Grant Program so that the surplus funds are used for their congressionally-designated purpose.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
