Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates a defined class of limited services pregnancy centers (those not licensed as health facilities, not under a licensed provider's direction, and that do not provide or refer for the full range of reproductive services including abortion) by imposing mandatory written and oral disclosures about lack of licensed medical staff. It also creates a complaint/investigation process and civil penalties. The findings and intent section explicitly ties the measure to protecting timely access to abortion by countering what it describes as deceptive practices by centers opposed to abortion
