This bill establishes a doula scholarship program to be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. The program will award scholarships of up to $3,000 to eligible individuals who demonstrate financial hardship and plan to become certified doulas in Michigan. The bill defines key terms like "doula" and "eligible costs" and outlines the department's responsibilities in implementing and publicizing the scholarship program. It also creates the Doula Scholarship Fund within the state treasury to receive and allocate funds for the scholarship awards.
