What it does
The Licensed Midwifery Practice Act of 1993 provides for the licensing and regulation of midwives by the Medical Board of California. The license to practice midwifery authorizes the holder to attend cases of normal childbirth and to provide prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care, including family planning care, for the mother, and immediate care for the newborn. The Licensed Midwifery Practice Act of 1993 requires a midwife to refer to a physician and surgeon under prescribed circumstances. A violation of the Licensed Midwifery Practice Act of 1993 is a crime.
