Establishes a certification and registration process for doulas in Hawaii.

This bill adds a new chapter to the Hawaii Revised Statutes to regulate doulas. It defines "certified doula" and "doula services," and requires individuals providing doula services for compensation or advertising themselves as a certified doula to register with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. The director must maintain a registry of certified doulas and provide a link to it on the department's website. Certified doulas can be present during labor and childbirth if certain conditions are met.
