Maternal Health and Early Learning

Summary

The measure creates a statewide home‑visit program for expectant mothers that includes health screenings, blood‑pressure monitoring and newborn care education. It also defines doula and midwife roles, permits them to be present during hospital births, and offers incentives for child‑care centers to stay open 24 hours for workers on non‑traditional schedules. Additional provisions adjust licensing fees for rural birthing centers and require physician continuing‑education on Medicaid payments for pregnant women.
