Midwifery bill update

The legislative session apparently was chaotic enough that the midwifery issue was not revisited before it ended, which means the slipped-in legislation is still live. Apparently the governor has stated that he intends to sign HB818 as it stands, which means midwifery is legalized by one sentence... no licensure mechanism, no board of oversight, no nothing.

I'm joining Friends of Missouri Midwives and the Missouri Midwives Association in an effort to offset the inevitable Medical Board takeover of the midwifery profession... since I'm stuck here another year, might as well leave the place in a better condition than I found it in.
