Why the model tagged it this way: The bill repeals Texas's 6-week heartbeat ban (Chapter 170A), the private-enforcement Subchapter H of Chapter 171, related enforcement exceptions, and statutes on construction of abortion laws, thereby removing key restrictions on abortion access and provider regulation.
