MS Lactation Consultant Practice Act; create.

HB 1093, the Mississippi Lactation Consultant Practice Act, would require lactation consultants in Mississippi to obtain state licensure by July 1, 2029, to legally use titles like "licensed lactation consultant" or provide clinical lactation services. It sets qualifications including International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification, background checks, and continuing education, while exempting certain perinatal health workers like WIC counselors. The bill establishes a State Board of Health oversight process and a Council of Advisors but does not currently apply, as it died in committee in 2026. This legislation aims to regulate lactation consulting as a health and safety measure for mothers and infants.
