CHILDREN: Authorizes the installation and use of newborn safety devices at infant relinquishment sites designated in the Safe Haven Law. (8/1/24) (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

This bill authorizes the installation and use of newborn safety devices at designated infant relinquishment sites under the state's Safe Haven Law. It directly affects hospitals and other facilities that serve as safe drop-off locations for parents wishing to surrender their newborns anonymously. The legislation allows these sites to use specific safety devices to facilitate the safe transfer of infants to medical professionals. This change aims to provide a secure and standardized method for handling newborn surrenders at these locations.
