Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses abortion by imposing disclosure, posting, oral notification, complaint, investigation, and civil penalty requirements specifically on limited services pregnancy centers, which are defined in part by their failure to provide or refer for abortion (among other services). The findings and intent section repeatedly reference abortion access, statutory timeframes limiting abortion, and deceptive practices by centers opposed to abortion that can eliminate access to it. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
