CHILDREN'S CODE: Provides relative to the Safe Haven Law. (8/1/24)

This bill amends the Louisiana Safe Haven Law to clarify the definition of an infant eligible for safe surrender. It specifies that an infant must be under sixty days old and not previously subjected to abuse or neglect, with the age calculation adjusted for babies born in neonatal intensive care units. The change ensures that the time limit for surrendering a baby to a safe haven begins from the date of initial hospital discharge for those in critical care.
