[Adopted 7-6-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-04]
The purpose and intent of this article is to recognize the importance
of reproductive healthcare as a matter of health, privacy, and equality
and to ensure, to the greatest extent permitted by law, that those
rights are upheld for all within the City of Ithaca.
A.
No City resources, including, but not limited to, time spent by employees,
officers, contractors, or subcontractors while on duty, or the use
of City property, shall be utilized for:
(1)
Detaining persons for performing or aiding in the performance of
an abortion within this state, or in procuring an abortion in this
state, if the abortion is performed in accordance with the provisions
of Article 25A of the Public Health Law or any other applicable New
York State law; or
(2)
Cooperating with or providing information to any individual or out-of-state
agency or department regarding the provision of a lawful abortion
performed in the state.
B.
Nothing in this section shall prohibit the investigation of any criminal
activity in this state, provided that no information relating to any
medical procedure performed on a specific individual may be shared
with an out-of-state agency or any other individual.
C.
Any person detained in violation of this section may bring an action
in any court of competent jurisdiction for a claim of unlawful detention
in violation of this section, for any damages, including punitive
damages, and for declaratory and injunctive relief and such other
remedies as may be appropriate. The court, in issuing any final order
in any section brought pursuant to this section, may award costs of
litigation to the prevailing party whenever the court determines such
an award is appropriate. This section does not limit or abrogate any
claim or cause of action such person has under common law or by other
law or rule.
