Requires certain health care facilities to develop certain doula policies and procedures.

This bill requires hospitals and licensed birthing centers offering maternity services in New Jersey to create and maintain written policies allowing patients to choose their own doula for support before, during, and after childbirth. Facilities must share these policies with healthcare providers, patients, and post a summary visibly in patient rooms and on their website within 180 days of the law taking effect. Each facility must also designate a staff liaison to connect with doulas and organizations regarding these policies. The law directly affects maternity care facilities and patients seeking doula support during childbirth.
