Modifies provisions relating to birthing centers

Summary

The bill sets licensing rules for birthing centers, ambulatory surgical centers and abortion facilities in Missouri. It mandates that all surgical staff be licensed physicians, dentists, or podiatrists, that continuous physician or registered nurse care be provided, and that facilities maintain hospital privileges or transfer agreements—except birthing centers are exempt from the hospital‑privilege rule. Licenses would be issued yearly, posted publicly, and could not be transferred without department approval.
