Domestic relations; safe places for newborns; revise provisions
House Date Signed by Governor
Summary
The bill amends the Safe Place for Newborns Act, allowing hospitals, fire stations, police stations, ambulance services, and specially approved safety devices to accept abandoned newborns. Mothers who leave a child (up to 45 days old) in these locations are protected from prosecution, and the state reimburses the facilities and arranges rapid transport to a medical center. The measure aims to prevent infant deaths from abandonment while giving staff legal immunity for good‑faith actions.
