Relates to directing the commissioner of health to issue a statewide standing order for the provision of doula services

This bill requires New York's health commissioner to create a statewide standing order allowing healthcare providers to offer doula services without individual patient authorization. It directly affects pregnant, birthing, and postpartum individuals (up to 12 months after birth) by enabling access to doula support through existing healthcare systems. The key mechanism is a non-patient-specific order that streamlines provider access to doula services, removing barriers to coverage. The bill aims to integrate doula care into standard maternal health support without requiring separate patient consent for each service.
