Establishes "Midwifery Licensing Act."

Maddy summaryNew Jersey Assembly Bill 5404 establishes the "Midwifery Licensing Act" to create an independent State Board of Midwifery, transferring regulatory authority for midwives from the State Board of Medical Examiners to this new body. The bill defines three categories of licensed midwives-certified midwives, certified nurse midwives, and certified professional midwives-and outlines their scope of practice, which includes care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods in various settings such as hospitals, clinics, and homes. To obtain a license, applicants must complete an accredited education program, hold national certification, and pay required fees, while maintaining licensure requires biennial renewal and completion of continuing education hours. The legislation also mandates that licensed midwives carry professional liability insurance and ensures that individuals currently licensed under the previous system are automatically granted equivalent licenses under the new framework.
