Bill Creating Doula & Midwife Services Public Awareness Campaign Signed into Law

Legislation would promote the benefits doulas and midwives can bring to the birthing process (TRENTON) — Legislation tasking the New Jersey Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Authority with establishing a public awareness campaign to promote the benefits of doula and midwife services was signed into law today. Assemblywomen Shanique Speight, Lisa Swain, Verlina Reynolds-Jackson and Carmen Morales sponsored A4222. “Doulas and midwives have a long history of providing care and tirelessly advocating for their patients as they experience one of life’s most challenging and most rewarding moments – childbirth,” said Assemblywoman Speight (D-Essex).
“Through this bill, we aim to increase public awareness about the benefits of doulas and midwives and the critical role they play in improving health outcomes by supporting individuals and contributing to a more inclusive and compassionate birthing process.” Under A4222, the campaign materials will showcase the health benefits and improved maternal and infant health outcomes that may result from doulas and midwives; and publicize any free or low-cost resources made available by the State for doula and midwife services. “Many think of midwives and doulas as someone who can help in the moment of labor, but the support they offer starts long before delivery and remains in place well after,” said Assemblywoman Swain (D-Bergen). “This bill will ensure expectant mothers are aware of the full range of medical, educational, and emotional services these professionals provide before, during, and after childbirth.”“With this legislation, we raise awareness and empower mothers with knowledge, support, and the resources they need for a healthier, happier pregnancy and birth experience,” said Assemblywoman Reynolds-Jackson (D-Mercer, Hunterdon). “By providing constituents with knowledge of doula services we give them the tools to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and childbirth.” “Having a trained professional to guide you through one of life’s most transformational moments has advantages for mother and baby alike,” said Assemblywoman Morales (D-Essex). “It’s our job as legislators to make sure that parents-to-be have access to the most information possible to help them through this time. The signing into law of Bill A4222 today is an important step in enabling us to do that.” The establishment of the public awareness campaign would be contingent on the availability of funds.

Letters to the Editor

As has become our longstanding tradition, FACT closes each year with an annual “Top Violators” list from the prior 12 months. As we strongly head into 2026, here is our “Top Violators of 2025”.

FACT’s Top Ethics Violators of 2025:

1. U.S. Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida:
In early 2025, FACT filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct alerting it to the fact that Rep. Cherfilus‑McCormick’s family‑owned company received a $5.8 million overpayment from the State of Florida for services that were never performed. Despite clear repayment obligations, the funds were retained. Concurrently, financial disclosure records and campaign‑finance filings raised red flags: income from related entities surged and a large loan was made to her prior congressional campaign, yet these changes did not align with reported personal assets. Based on these discrepancies, FACT referred her case to the U.S. Department of Justice. Later in the year, she was federally indicted, confirming the gravity of the alleged misconduct. This is among the most significant ethics breaches FACT has documented in 2025, involving misuse of public funds, opaque financial maneuvering, and campaign‑finance irregularities.
