Under existing law, it is a misdemeanor offense to practice midwifery without a license issued by the State Board of Nursing and the Board of Medical Examiners.
This bill would exempt a midwife holding a current midwifery certification from an organization accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence from the crime of practicing midwifery without a license.
This bill would also make the practice of lay midwifery a criminal offense.
