This Act ensures that pregnant women in DOC custody, at Level IV or V, are able to meet with a doula or midwife to create a birth plan surrounding the birth of their child. Among other things, the birth plan must include a statement identifying a preferred childcare provider and whether the new mother wishes to express breast milk for the child. This Act further requires that the DOC publish an annual report regarding the use of doula and midwifery services within the DOC. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
