Relates to traffic ticket liability for midwives
This bill creates an exception for licensed midwives who receive traffic tickets while responding to emergency medical situations. It establishes a legal presumption that midwives aren't liable for certain traffic violations (like running red lights via photo enforcement, speeding, or violating bus lanes) if they provide an affidavit confirming they were in an emergency at the time. The bill requires midwives to submit this affidavit or equivalent proof at a traffic hearing to avoid penalties. It directly affects licensed midwives operating vehicles during urgent medical responses, modifying how traffic violations are adjudicated for this specific profession.
