Summary
This Legislation aligns the penalty for non-compliance with the non-nurse midwives law and regulations with the penalty for practicing medicine without a license. It imposes civil and/or criminal penalties for violations of existing law. The increase in penalties is necessary because people are acting in violation of current law and regulations and as such are exposing mothers and newborn infants to significant risk and harm.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Department Of Health And Social Services And Midwifery.
