CURRENTLY THE PUBLIC CAN MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT THE PROPOSED CHANGES! WE NEED YOU TO WEIGH IN! 🎤
➡️ Submit your public comment to this email address:
advisory.boards@tdlr.texas.gov
Below is a sample public comment you may copy, paste, and adapt.
“I am a midwifery client here in Texas, and writing in regard to the proposed revisions to the Informed Choice and Disclosure Statement for Licensed Midwives as discussed in the Midwives Advisory Board meeting on Jan 13th (Agenda Item G).
I support transparency and informed choice in maternity care.
I am concerned about the proposed requirement for midwives to explain personal financial responsibility related to malpractice. As a consumer, this information would not help me make safer or better decisions about my care. Instead, it could create unnecessary fear or confusion at an already vulnerable time in pregnancy.
The proposed revisions significantly expand the Informed Choice and Disclosure Statement in ways that go beyond what is mandated in statute. I respectfully ask that this form remain focused on health, safety, and care options rather than on my provider’s personal financial situation.”
You only need to submit one comment, but more are always welcome.
Please share with your friends who use midwives!
Every comment matters. Every voice helps shape the future of midwifery in Texas. By speaking up now, we protect informed choice, preserve the integrity of the midwifery model of care and ensures that future policies truly serve families and midwives alike.
