Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates limited service pregnancy resource centers (crisis pregnancy centers) by requiring specific disclosures about licensing and services, mandatory disclaimers in advertising and signage stating they do not provide or refer for abortions or birth control, with misdemeanor and civil penalties. This adds regulatory burdens specifically tied to their anti-abortion and anti-contraception stance under the abortion topic (provider-clinic-regulation and other). No provisions on gestational limits, personhood, funding changes, or other listed topics.
