Summary
The bill sets up the Doula Workforce Development Support Program within Florida’s Department of Commerce to give grants and technical help to organizations that train doulas. It prioritizes counties with high maternal morbidity, limited maternity providers, or recent hospital closures, aiming to grow the doula workforce and improve birth outcomes.
