Bill > HB128

This bill amends existing Alabama law concerning the Board of Midwifery, primarily by granting the board the authority to accept gifts and grants, which will be used to fund its operations and expenses. It also makes several other changes, including clarifying the composition of the board by specifying that four members must hold a certified professional midwife credential from the North American Registry of Midwives and that these members are appointed from a list submitted by the Alabama Midwives Alliance or its successor professional midwifery organization, and it updates language related to reporting requirements and specific medical procedures that licensed midwives are not permitted to perform. The bill also adjusts the effective date of the act to October 1, 2026.
