"Lactation Consultants Licensing Act."

This bill requires lactation consultants providing clinical breastfeeding support (like evaluation, treatment planning, and specialized care) in New Jersey to obtain state licensure. It establishes a licensing board to verify applicants meet International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) standards, including background checks and continuing education. The law prohibits unlicensed individuals from using titles like "lactation consultant" or offering clinical services under those titles, but exempts WIC peer counselors, medical students, and those providing general breastfeeding education without clinical treatment. It directly affects professionals offering clinical lactation care while allowing existing unlicensed support roles to continue.
