Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds one new prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act specifically targeting unauthorized handling of personally identifiable reproductive or sexual health information. This provision substantively addresses abortion (via the reproductive-health focus) under the 'other' subtag by restricting data practices that could affect access to or privacy around reproductive services. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
