Representative Redmond introduces bill to modernize Idaho midwifery statute
Summary
Representative Jordan Redmond introduced RS33050 to update Idaho's midwifery statute, saying the measure is an evidence-based modernization — not a scope expansion — to allow licensed midwives to administer certain medications consistent with their training.
Representative Jordan Redmond (District 3, Kootenai County) presented RS33050, a proposed update to Idaho's midwifery statute that has not been substantially revised since 2009. "This is not a scope expansion. This is an update that allows midwives to safely administer medications within their scope of practice, education, and training," Redmond said, adding the goal is better outcomes for Idaho mothers and babies.
The committee voted to introduce RS33050 by voice vote and the measure was marked introduced. No debate or opposing testimony appears in the transcript; the committee adjourned shortly after introducing the RS.
