Bill Summary

Generally revise midwifery laws

AI Summary

This bill generally revises Montana's midwifery laws. It expands the ability of licensed direct-entry midwives to obtain and administer certain prescription drugs, including oxygen, postpartum antihemorrhagic agents, local anesthetics, antibiotics, epinephrine, intravenous fluids, and other medications. However, direct-entry midwives must first complete accredited courses in pharmacology and intravenous therapy and obtain a license endorsement from the board before they can administer these drugs. The bill also requires direct-entry midwives to establish written protocols for the procurement, storage, inventory control, and disposal of prescription drugs, as well as their use and care. Finally, the bill grants the board rulemaking authority to implement these new provisions.
