S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5435 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y March 10, 2023 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. SOLAGES -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Health AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to establishing the New York state community doula directory for doulas serving Medicaid patients THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and declarations. The legislature hereby finds and declares that poor maternal and infant health outcomes and disparities are a public health crisis that pose a threat to the health, welfare, and quality of life of child bearing people, infants and their families. The legislature acknowledges the imbalances of how doula care is treated in different communities. Between the rising costs of reproductive care, the absence of a federal doula Medicaid framework, and the existing barriers to equitable prenatal, intranatal, and post- partum care services, the legislature hereby finds the importance in establishing a community doula directory to increase access to care. Having doula services in an accessible and centralized location that is open to the public without an economic barrier, will help connect birth- ing persons with the doula care services they need. § 2. Article 25 of the public health law is amended by adding a new title 6-A to read as follows: TITLE VI-A DOULAS FOR MEDICAID SECTION 2594-A. DEFINITIONS. 2594-B. NEW YORK STATE COMMUNITY DOULA DIRECTORY. 2594-C. CRITERIA FOR ADMITTANCE INTO THE NEW YORK STATE COMMUNI- TY DOULA DIRECTORY. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD04573-01-3 A. 5435 2
