Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision that explicitly counts an 'unborn child' as a passenger for HOV lane eligibility, which is a form of legal recognition of the unborn that fits the fetal-personhood criteria for the abortion topic (restricts access axis) and touches the custody-support topic via family-law implications for the unborn (also restricts). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
