Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates and expands a state education/outreach program and website on women's and reproductive health services, adding information on access to contraceptives, pregnancy testing, STI services, telehealth, financial assistance, clinic locators, confidentiality protections for reproductive health providers/patients, and required promotion of no-cost preventive services including contraception. It does not address abortion procedures, gestational limits, medication abortion, travel shields, personhood, or bans; the contraception list explicitly excludes abortifacient drugs. No provisions
