Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a mechanism to transfer excess funds from insurer segregated accounts for abortion coverage (per ACA §1303) into a new state fund used exclusively to expand grants for reproductive health care clinical services, with prioritization for new providers and a mandated budget appropriation; this increases public funding and access for abortion-related services.
