Concerning ensuring access by licensed midwives to medical staff privileges at public health facilities.
Bill Summary:
The bill prohibits a public health facility from denying, restricting, or conditioning the granting, use, or exercise of full medical staff privileges to a certified nurse midwife or a certified midwife (licensee) engaged in independent practice within their scope of practice solely on the basis of their licensure. If granted, privileges extended to a licensee must include admitting and discharge privileges, be consistent with those of other medical staff, and permit a licensee to exercise the same voting rights as other members of the medical staff.
