Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses transgender issues by banning gender-affirming medical procedures and medications for minors (restricts healthcare access), protecting and expanding access to counseling that may aim to change gender identity (expands that sub-axis), mandating parental notification by schools/government agents (restricts minor autonomy in education/school policies), and using a biological definition of sex plus parental rights provisions (restricts overall recognition). No provisions address firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
