Relating to: installation of a newborn infant safety device at an emergency medical services station.

SB 1073 would establish requirements for hospitals, fire stations, emergency medical services stations, and law enforcement agencies that choose to install newborn infant safety devices (secure containers for surrendering newborns). Facilities must meet criteria like 24-hour staffing, having a 24/7 surveillance system to monitor the device, and placing interior access points in visible areas for staff. The bill also allows parents to call 911 to surrender a newborn and have an officer or EMS provider meet them, while requiring facilities to monitor devices continuously, check them twice daily, and test alarms weekly.
