To revise a “safe delivery of newborns” law passed in 2000, which provides legal protections to a mother who surrenders a newborn to an emergency service provider. This bill would allow fire departments and hospitals to install a “newborn safety device” a mother surrender a baby anonymously, similar in operation to a bank drive-up window or library book return slot, subject to various safety, sanitation and alert requirements.
