Change and eliminate provisions relating to certified nurse midwives and provide for applicability of the Nebraska Hospital-Medical Liability Act

Summary

The bill overhauls the Certified Nurse Midwifery Practice Act by updating definitions, removing mandatory practice agreements, and expanding the services midwives may provide. It also broadens the definition of “health care provider” for liability purposes and repeals several older statutes. The changes were intended to clarify scope of practice and align midwife regulation with other advanced practice nurses, but the measure was indefinitely postponed.
