This protocol was updated as a result of MGL Chapter 91, s.4 “An Act Providing Timely Access to Emergency Contraception” becoming effective on December 14, 2005. For sexual assault patients, Section 4 of Chapter 91 adds a new element to the patients’ rights to emergency contraception set forth in M.G.L. c.111, §70E as follows:
“Said section 70E of said chapter 111 of the Massachusetts General Laws, as so appearing, is hereby further amended by inserting after the eighth paragraph the following paragraph regarding sexual assault victims: Every facility shall require all persons who provide care to victims of sexual assault to be provided with medically and factually accurate written information prepared by the commissioner about emergency contraception. Every female rape victim of childbearing age who presents at a facility after a rape shall promptly be provided with medically and factually accurate written information prepared by the commissioner about emergency contraception. Facilities that provide emergency care shall promptly offer emergency contraception at the facility to each female rape victim of childbearing age, and shall initiate emergency contraception upon her request. For each facility initiating emergency contraception, the administrator, manager or other person in charge thereof shall annually report to the department of public health the number of times emergency contraception is administered to victims of rape under this section. Reports made pursuant to this section shall not identify any individual patient, shall be confidential and shall not be public records as defined by clause twenty-sixth of section 7 of chapter 4.”
