"Lactation Consultants Licensing Act."

The Lactation Consultants Licensing Act (A1643) requires lactation consultants in New Jersey to obtain a state license to provide clinical lactation care and services, such as breastfeeding evaluation, treatment, and education. To qualify, applicants must meet international IBCLC education and exam standards, be at least 21 years old, and demonstrate good moral character. The law establishes a seven-member advisory committee to manage licensing, with exemptions for medical professionals within their scope, WIC peer counselors, students, and non-resident IBCLCs providing limited services. It prohibits using titles like "lactation consultant" without a license, ensuring only licensed professionals deliver these clinical services.
