Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands detailed monthly/quarterly reporting on pregnant and postpartum inmates' identification, prenatal care access, complaints, treatment, labor/delivery conditions, outcomes, and deaths (with some items renumbered from deletions), plus confidentiality rules and sharing with a maternal mortality review team. This is neutral for abortion access as it is reporting-only with no changes to abortion services, limits, or funding. The explicit bar on using the data for immigration enforcement restricts that topic; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
