Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds protections against criminal liability under child injury statutes (Penal Code 22.04) specifically for actions opposing, attempting to change, or refusing to affirm a minor's transgender inclinations/behavior or abortion-related decisions, which restricts both the transgender and abortion topics per their axes. Duplicate subsections (n) and (i) appear to be a drafting error but do not change the effect. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
