Title of bill
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring every keeper of a hotel or motel or inn to make condoms available for sale to guests
Purpose
To prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases by requiring hotels, motels and inns to make available condoms for sale.
Summary of provisions
Adds a new section 204-b to the General Business Law for sale of condoms. Provides that owners of hotels, motels or inns shall have condoms or similar prophylactics available for sale in the registration office.
Justification
Over the past few years, this state has seen an enormous increase in the incidence of AIDS. Rendering laws to prevent AIDS should, therefore, be of primary concern. Medical studies have shown that proper use of condoms will minimize the risk of spreading the AIDS virus. This bill is an attempt to access such prophylactics in public accommodations.
