Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only amends death and fetal-death registration procedures to expand who may file certificates, provide medical information, complete cause-of-death certifications, and correct permanent certificates. It has no provisions on abortion access, gestational limits, medication abortion, funding, personhood, or any other listed topic. The changes are purely administrative and do not alter the underlying legality or availability of abortion or any other tracked policy area.
