Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a specific requirement to test public drinking water for mifepristone (the key drug in medication abortion) and estrogen hormones. This does not change abortion access directly but substantively addresses medication abortion by targeting the drug for environmental monitoring, treated as a restrictive measure on the topic per the guidelines for bills that increase oversight of abortion-related substances.
