Died in Appropriations Committee on Health and Human Services
Summary
The bill would set up a pilot program in Broward, Miami‑Dade, and Palm Beach counties that adds non‑medical doula services to existing maternal‑health initiatives for pregnant and postpartum women who have overcome or are overcoming substance‑use disorders. The Florida Department of Health would run the program for 12 to 24 months, depending on the amount of money appropriated, and would require a range of prenatal, labor, and postpartum supports. The legislation also creates a Doula Certification Task Force to study the program and report its findings. The measure died in the Appropriations Committee and never became law.
