Idaho bill could require midwife licenses

   Posted by: R Haasch   in Legal

Midwives say they’ve addressed doctors’ and hospitals’ concerns over a plan to license midwives, after opposition helped kill a similar proposal last year.

The bill that died in the legislature last year would have made licensing voluntary and drew the ire of groups such as the Idaho Medical Association. Currently Idaho requires no license or certification to be a midwife, but midwives are recognized by state law.
