TO AMEND THE FULL PRACTICE AUTHORITY OF A CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIFE TO ALLOW ADMITTING PRIVILEGES.
HB 1181 (now Act 138) is a technical amendment to clarify that certified nurse midwives only need a valid license to obtain hospital admitting privileges, removing the redundant phrase "accredited" from existing law. This change directly affects certified nurse midwives seeking hospital privileges by aligning the legal requirement with standard licensing practices. The bill does not create new policy or expand scope of practice - it simply corrects outdated language in the statute. As a procedural amendment, it was enacted without substantive debate and became law on February 25, 2025.

MINOR
The bill text shows primarily formatting and layout changes rather than substantive policy modifications. The Act number reference was removed from the header, and several signature and date lines were adjusted or removed. These appear to be clerical updates to the document's presentation.
TECHNICAL
Removed the reference to 'Act 138 of the Regular Session' from the document header, likely to clarify this is a standalone bill.
Adjusted spacing and formatting in signature lines and page headers, including removal of an approval date line.
Changed spacing in the bill identification line, reducing the gap between the bill number and the HB1181 identifier.
