Relinquishment Of Infants At Safe Haven Boxes

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows parents to anonymously leave an infant, up to 90 days old, in a "safe haven baby box" at designated safe haven sites like hospitals or fire stations. If a parent does not contact the Children, Youth and Families Department within 90 days of relinquishing the infant, the department will move to terminate parental rights. The bill also grants immunity from liability to safe haven sites that install these baby boxes.
