AI Summary

This bill establishes a comprehensive advisory committee convened by the Commissioner of Public Health to study perinatal mental health care and doula-friendly practices in hospitals. The committee will be composed of 17 members, including healthcare professionals, mental health experts, a certified doula, patient advocates, and representatives from state agencies. The study will examine a wide range of topics, such as risk factors for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, evidence-based treatment practices, racial and ethnic disparities in care, workforce development initiatives, funding models, and challenges preventing doulas from being fully integrated into hospital maternity care. The committee will also investigate the impact of doula support on maternal outcomes, including mortality rates, cesarean section rates, and patient satisfaction. The committee is required to submit an initial report by February 1, 2026, and a final report by January 1, 2027, to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly responsible for public health matters. The bill aims to improve perinatal mental health services and support for pregnant and postpartum individuals by comprehensively studying existing challenges and potential solutions.
