Short description: 
DIRECT ENTRY MIDWIFE CERTIF                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Comprehensive Childbirth Act to regulate the practice      
   of direct entry midwifery through certification  requirements.  Amends      
   the  Regulatory  Agency Sunset Act to repeal the new Act on January 1,      
   2008. Amends the State Finance Act to add  the  Direct  Entry  Midwife      
   Certification  Fund.  Amends  the  Good Samaritan Act to exempt direct      
   entry  midwives  from  civil  liability  for  uncompensated  emergency      
   treatment.                                                                  
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE                                                    
          This legislation has no fiscal or prison popultion impact on         
          this Dept.                                                           
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB 1623 fails to create a State mandate      
          under the State Mandates Act.                                        
          FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Public Health)                                 
          Fiscal implications to this Dept. would be approximately             
          $70,000.                                                             
          HOME RULE NOTE                                                       
          HB 1623 does not preempt home rule authority.
