safe haven providers; hospital deliveries

Summary

The bill creates a uniform protocol for newborns surrendered to fire stations, hospitals, EMTs, private child‑welfare or adoption agencies, and churches. It requires immediate hospital examination, notification of the child‑safety department, and a rapid transfer to an adoption agency or the state if no agency accepts the infant. The goal is to protect infants while allowing parents to remain anonymous and free from criminal liability.
