Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates unregulated pregnancy clinics (including those offering ultrasounds) by requiring qualified medical provider supervision, client disclosures, board notifications, and civil penalties for violations; it also adds specific unprofessional-conduct grounds tied to false representations about medical care at such clinics. These provisions substantively address abortion via provider-clinic-regulation by increasing oversight and restrictions on crisis pregnancy centers. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
