An Act to protect children in extreme temperatures
This bill prohibits leaving a child under age three unattended in a motor vehicle when extreme heat or cold could threaten their health. It directly affects caregivers, parents, and anyone responsible for children under three. Key provisions allow law enforcement or firefighters to enter vehicles without owner permission to rescue children after reasonable attempts to locate the owner, with immunity from liability for such actions. Violations carry fines up to $500 for repeated offenses, and causing serious injury through negligence could lead to criminal charges.
