An Act relating to midwives and the practice of midwifery; relating to apprentice midwives; renaming the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives as the Board of Licensed Midwives; relating to the Board of Licensed Midwives; extending the termination date of the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives; relating to insurance; and providing for an effective date.

HB 95 renames the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives to the Board of Licensed Midwives, extends the board’s termination date from 2025 to 2031, and requires insurance coverage for midwifery care regardless of delivery location. It directly affects licensed midwives (including those transitioning from "certified direct-entry" status), pregnant people seeking home births, and insurance providers. Key provisions include updating legal definitions to reflect the new board name, ensuring midwifery services are covered under insurance policies, and codifying the legislature’s intent to support home births with licensed midwives. The bill aims to remove barriers to non-hospital births while maintaining oversight of midwifery practice.
