Relating to the administration of certain drugs by a midwife.
SB 1102 requires Texas midwives to complete specific training in newborn screening, administration of certain drugs (like those for labor/postpartum care or prevention of conditions), and basic life support (BLS) certification. It mandates a pharmacology course covering these drugs as part of midwives' continuing education requirements. The bill clarifies that midwives may administer these specified drugs without it being considered practicing medicine, but prohibits administering other prescription drugs except under limited exceptions. These new requirements take effect for license renewals on or after February 1, 2026.
