Why the model tagged it this way: The bill authorizes a non-binding referendum allowing voters to indicate support for repealing any additional restrictions on abortion access enacted in 2025. This facilitates public input that could pressure lawmakers to repeal such restrictions, thereby expanding abortion access. It touches ballot-constitutional via the referendum mechanism and bans-gestational-limits because additional restrictions could include gestational limits or bans (though not limited to them). No other topics are substantively addressed.
