Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses abortion by banning school instruction, materials, referrals, or discussions that promote or normalize abortion, backed by misdemeanor penalties, mandatory termination, certification revocation, and waived-immunity civil suits by parents. This restricts legal access to abortion-related information and education. No provisions address transgender topics, firearms, immigration enforcement, or custody/support, so only the abortion/other tag applies with a neutral placeholder for transgender/education to reflect the absence of any such content.
