Provides for independent prescriptive authority for midwives.

This bill allows certified midwives in New Jersey to prescribe medications independently, removing the current requirement that they work under physician-approved protocols. It amends existing law to let certified midwives prescribe drugs without needing collaborative agreements with physicians, while maintaining the existing requirement that they complete 30 hours of pharmacology training (including opioid safety education). The bill directly affects certified midwives who currently must coordinate with physicians to prescribe medications. This change would streamline their practice authority while preserving safety training standards.
