Creates Midwifery Licensing Act; modifies regulation of midwifery.

This bill creates a new State Board of Midwives within New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to regulate midwifery practice, replacing the current oversight by the State Board of Medical Examiners. It directly affects midwives (including certified midwives, certified nurse midwives, and certified professional midwives) and the patients they serve, particularly in maternal and infant care. Key provisions establish the board's 11-member structure (with midwives, physicians, and public members), define "midwifery services" to include pregnancy, birth, postpartum care, and reproductive health, and update outdated regulations dating to the 19th century. The bill aims to modernize licensing to improve maternal and infant health outcomes, especially in vulnerable communities, by creating an independent regulatory framework.
