Editor's note: Effective 9/9/2016, Register 219, the Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives readopted 12 AAC 14.610, without change, to affirm the validity of that section following statutory amendments made in secs. 4 and 5, ch. 99, SLA 2014. Sections 4 and 5, ch. 99, SLA 2014 repealed former AS 08.65.140(e) and (f), provisions regarding actions during verifiable emergencies, but retained language in the definition of "practice of midwifery" in AS 08.65.190 that allows the execution of emergency measures in the absence of medical assistance, as specified in regulations adopted by the board.
