Sen. Marty Golden announces new state laws to protect public health to take effect in January
State Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) announced numerous pieces of legislation he supported on Tuesday that are set to become New York state law in January designed to improve public health.
Golden is highlighting the state’s continued effort to tackle the heroin and opioid addiction crisis, improve women’s health, provide better insurance protections for children and encourage organ donations.
Golden stated, “I am proud to have supported important pieces of legislation this session that will become law next week that will surely benefit the public health of New Yorkers. This year, we have worked to improve opportunities available to care for our citizens at many levels, and our families are better for these efforts.
“At so many levels, for substance abusers seeking help, for New York’s newborn children, for those in need of a transplant and for those who need to get tested, we have made a positive impact. I am confident that these new laws collectively will save many lives,” continued Golden.
