NY Gen Bus L § 350-A (2021)
2021 New York Laws GBS - General Business Article 22-A - Consumer Protection From Deceptive Acts and Practices 350-A - False Advertising.

§  350-a.  False  advertising.  1.  The term "false advertising" means   advertising, including  labeling,  of  a  commodity,  or  of  the  kind,   character,  terms  or  conditions  of any employment opportunity if such   advertising is misleading in a material respect. In determining  whether   any  advertising is misleading, there shall be taken into account (among   other things) not only representations made by statement, word,  design,   device,  sound  or any combination thereof, but also the extent to which   the advertising fails to reveal facts material  in  the  light  of  such   representations with respect to the commodity or employment to which the   advertising   relates   under   the   conditions   prescribed   in  said   advertisement, or under such conditions as are customary or  usual.  For   purposes  of  this  article,  with  respect  to  the  advertising  of an   employment opportunity, it shall be deemed  "misleading  in  a  material   respect"  to  either  fail to reveal whether the employment available or   being offered requires or is conditioned upon the purchasing or  leasing   of  supplies,  material,  equipment  or  other  property or whether such   employment is on a commission rather than a fixed salary basis  and,  if   so,  whether  the  salaries advertised are only obtainable if sufficient   commissions are earned.2. An employer shall not be liable under this section as a result of a   failure to disclose all material facts relating to terms and  conditions   of  employment if the aggrieved person has not suffered actual pecuniary   damage as a result  of  the  misleading  advertising  of  an  employment   opportunity  or  if  the  employer  has,  prior  to the aggrieved person   suffering any pecuniary damage, disclosed in writing to  that  person  a   full  and  accurate  description  of  the  kind,  character,  terms  and   conditions of the employment opportunity.3. It shall constitute false advertising to display  or  announce,  in   print  or broadcast advertising, the price of an item after deduction of   a rebate unless the actual selling price is displayed or announced,  and   clear  and  conspicuous  notice  is  given  in  the advertisement that a   mail-in rebate is required to achieve the lower net price.

2021 New York Laws GBS - General Business Article 22-A - Consumer Protection From Deceptive Acts and Practices 350-B - Disclosures Required in Advertisements Using the Title "Doctor".

§  350-b.  Disclosures  required  in  advertisements  using  the title   "doctor".  1.  Any  person  who  uses  the  title  "doctor"  in   making   representations  for  the  purpose  of  inducing, or which are likely to   induce, directly or indirectly, the purchase of (a)  drugs,  devices  or   cosmetics,  as  defined  in  section  sixty-eight  hundred  two  of  the   education law, or (b) other goods  or  services  intended  to  diagnose,   treat,  mitigate,  prevent  or  cure  any  human  disease, pain, injury,   deformity, nutritional deficiency or physical condition,  or  which  are   intended  to  appear  to the purchaser of such goods or services to have   done so, shall conspicuously disclose the profession in which he or  she   is licensed, except that, where no license is required by the department   of education, such person shall conspicuously disclose the major subject   in  which  the  degree  was  earned and the name of the institution that   issued  the  degree  provided,  however,  that  such  person  shall   be   prohibited from using the title "doctor" unless the degree was conferred   by  an  institution  of  higher  education  authorized  by law to confer   doctoral degrees in the state where it is located. For the  purposes  of   this  section,  "conspicuously"  shall  mean  equally  in  size, type or   prominence  and  positioned  adjacent  to  the   title   "doctor".   The   requirements  of this subdivision supplement, and shall not be construed   to limit, the  obligations  of  health  professionals  pursuant  to  the   education law and regulations thereunder, nor shall they be construed to   authorize  the  practice  of  any  licensed  profession nor the offer of   professional services by any unlicensed person.2. In addition to any civil  penalty  available  under  section  three   hundred  fifty-d  of  this article, whenever there shall be an actual or   threatened violation of this section an application may  be  made  to  a   court or justice having jurisdiction to issue an injunction, upon notice   to the defendant of not less than five days, to enjoin and restrain such   actual  or  threatened violation; if it shall appear to the satisfaction   of the court or justice that the defendant is in fact assuming, adopting   or using such title or is about to assume, adopt or use such  title  and   that  the  assumption,  adoption  or  use  of  such title may deceive or   mislead the public, an injunction may be issued by said court or justice   enjoining and restraining such actual or  threatened  violation  without   requiring  proof  that  any  person  has in fact been deceived or misled   thereby.
