Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the existing crime of criminal interference with health care services (including abortion) by changing the mens rea from intent to knowledge, adding buffer-zone and recording prohibitions around reproductive health facilities, adding doxxing prohibitions targeting abortion patients/providers, expanding definitions of interference and premises, and adding civil injunctive relief and causes of action; all provisions increase legal restrictions on interference with abortion access and provider operations. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration-enforcme
