HB 175-BOARD OF LICENSED MIDWIVES 4:45:32 PM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE announced that the next order of business would be SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 175, "An Act relating to midwives and the practice of midwifery; relating to apprentice midwives; renaming the Board of Certified Direct- Entry Midwives as the Board of Licensed Midwives; relating to the Board of Licensed Midwives; extending the termination date of the Board of Licensed Midwives; relating to insurance; and providing for an effective date." 4:45:49 PM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE opened public testimony on HB 175. 4:46:19 PM JENNIFER CAVE, Vice President, Midwives Association of Alaska; Owner, The Nesting Place, testified in support of SSHB 175. With the recent extension of the postpartum period by Medicaid to one year after birth, she said it's fitting that SSHB 175 would expand the scope to allow the one-year postpartum period. She said the bill would help ease the burden of doctors and give clients the care they need in a timely fashion. In addition, SSHB 175 would ensure that insurance companies reimburse home births in Alaska and save clients' money. 4:50:30 PM BARBARA NORTON, representing self, spoke in opposition to SSHB 175. She said she supported the overriding of EO 130, which would disband the Board of Direct Entry Midwives (CDM); however, she said she does not support the statute changes in HB 175. She listed the following changes as "counter to common sense:" removing the doctor and nurse midwife from the board and replacing them with direct entry midwives; eliminating the need for a diploma; prohibiting regulations requiring collaboration with hospitals, doctors, or advanced nurse practitioners; removing the requirement that preceptors may not have any experience to train new midwives; removing the language that has for 32 years, recommended that women entering prenatal care, receive a physical exam by a doctor or nurse practitioner; expanding the scope of direct entry care to include preconception care. She shared an anecdote. She urged sensible direct entry midwives to get back on their board and change the regulations back to pre-2023 to ensure that the public's best interest. 4:56:19 PM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE closed public testimony on HB 175 and announced that the bill would be held over.
