Bill Summary
Board of Midwifery; authorized to accept gifts and grants
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Alabama law concerning the State Board of Midwifery, primarily to grant the board the authority to accept gifts and grants, which will be used to fund its operations and expenses. The bill also makes several other changes, including clarifying that the chair of the board may serve consecutive terms, updating the name of a nominating organization from "Alabama Birth Coalition" to "Alabama Midwives Alliance" or its successor professional midwifery organization, and adjusting the wording related to certain medical procedures and reporting requirements for licensed midwives. These changes aim to modernize and streamline the board's administrative and operational capabilities.
