New York state Sen. Erik Bottcher (D) and Assembly Member Tony Simone (D) introduced Senate Bill S10673, aiming to repeal a 1985 law banning bathhouses and establish new regulations for their licensing. The lawmakers argue that the ban, enacted during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, is outdated given modern public health practices like PrEP. The bill has support from leading LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS organizations, and echoes similar ordinances in other U.S. cities.
