This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 36-2231, which specifically addresses the role of certified nurse midwives, certified professional midwives, and licensed midwives during emergency medical situations related to out-of-hospital births. Under the new law, if these midwives request an ambulance by calling 911, they are permitted to accompany the patient to the hospital and continue providing necessary medical care during transport.

The current statutes remain unchanged, as the bill introduces new provisions without deleting any existing language. This addition aims to enhance the continuity of care for patients during emergencies, ensuring that midwives can support their patients throughout the ambulance transport process.
