STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 16879 The purpose of this bill is to establish a framework for voluntary licensure of midwives in Idaho. The voluntary licensure provisions of this bill are intended to enhance maternity care options for Idaho s families and to provide a mechanism for validating the qualifications of midwives who seek this voluntary licensure. FISCAL IMPACT The legislation allows for license fees up to $ 500.00 per midwife. It is estimated that initially 25 to 30 midwives might participate and at the $ 500.00 fee that should adequately cover the costs of establishing the Board and administration of the program at the Bureau of Occupational Licenses.
