=No change to abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
The bill creates requirements for pregnancy testing of female arrestees upon request, postpartum assessments and services for women whose sentences are stayed, and data collection/reporting on pregnancy outcomes including miscarriages and stillbirths for incarcerated women.
Within 10 days after the end of the stay of incarceration and the commencement of the woman’s incarceration to serve the sentence, she must be offered an appropriate assessment by a licensed health care practitioner or a telehealth provider ... who, upon her request, shall provide a postpartum assessment, including any necessary medical tests, procedures, lactation support, mental health support, or treatments associated with her postpartum condition.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses abortion via fetal personhood language treating the 'unborn child' as having life and safety interests to be protected by the court (restricts abortion access axis) and via pregnancy/postpartum health services and data reporting (neutral/other). It also touches custody-support by delaying maternal incarceration to allow time with the newborn, expanding the less-custodial parent's (here the mother's) time and rights relative to obligations in the immediate postpartum period. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
