Bill overview
This bill establishes the Midwifery Licensing Act in New Jersey, creating a new regulatory framework for midwives. It aims to improve maternal and infant health by establishing a state board to oversee midwifery practice, defining key terms like ‘certified midwife’ and ‘midwifery services,’ and outlining the qualifications for licensure. The bill also addresses the current regulatory structure, which currently places midwifery under the State Board of Medical Examiners, and seeks to modernize the system to better align with the growing role of midwives in healthcare.
