Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill requires individuals practicing midwifery in the State to be licensed by January 1, 2020. It also adds 2 members to the Board of Complementary Health Care Providers in the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation. Revenue from licensing fees will not be available to support the additional per diem and All Other costs to the board until after January 1, 2020. Because the board does not have sufficient resources to absorb the costs of this legislation within its own budgeted resources, it may not be able to implement the requirements until after it begins receiving revenue from licensing fees or another source of funding is provided.
