This is a crucial time to get your voice heard. We advocate for our clients and now it is time to advocate for our profession. This bill passed the Finance committee today and will go before the Insurance Committee tomorrow. Please write and call them today.
Please say what is in your heart. Here are some pointers if you want to use them In your call or email:We want to register our opposition for HB0295 / SB0044. This bill will harm the doula profession. There is no need for a doula board creation when we have not heard back from the Doula Services Advisory Committee yet. We support doula verification, but a board creation is costly to the state and not needed. The majority of other states that provide doula reimbursement do it through a verification process, not a state board. Please vote Nay tomorrow on the bill
