An Act relating to the surrender of infants; relating to civil history; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The bill lets a parent who cannot be prosecuted for child abandonment surrender an infant to a qualified person or a specially equipped safety device. When the infant is left in the care of a peace officer, health worker, fire/EMS volunteer, or a certified safety box, the parent’s duty to support the child ends, and the receiving party is protected from civil lawsuits.
