Hochul signed the legislation into law in early February following the indictment of New York physician Margaret Carpenter, her company and an associate by a grand jury in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. They were accused of using telemedicine to prescribe abortion pills to a minor who suffered complications.
The New York law, effective immediately, allows providers’ names to be omitted from abortion pill packaging and bottles and instead replaced with the name of their healthcare practice.
Louisiana authorities discovered the doctor’s identity after it was found on the abortion pill label.
“After today, that will no longer happen,” Hochul said at the bill signing.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Hochul’s office for comment.
