Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends an existing law that created Abortion.CA.Gov by shifting maintenance to the State Department of Public Health in partnership with a specified nonprofit, expanding the site's required content to include broader sexual and reproductive health information (including historically available federal resources that have been removed), more frequent updates, workgroup consultations, public awareness campaigns, and annual reporting. It retains and broadens abortion-specific resources and practical support for access, including for those traveling to the state. No provisions restrict any
