Summary
The bill would establish a Doula Workforce Development Support Program within the Department of Economic Opportunity to award grants to doula training organizations. It targets high‑need regions—urban counties with high maternal health disparities, rural areas lacking obstetric care, and communities affected by hospital closures—to increase the number of trained doulas and improve maternal outcomes. The program would be funded with $7.5 million for the 2026‑27 fiscal year and requires annual reporting.
