Status: 07/17/2007-Read second time, amended, and re-referred to Com. on APPR.
Existing law designates certain locations as safe-surrender sites for the safe surrender of newborn children who are 72 hours of age or younger. This bill would expand the scope of those provisions to apply to children who are 21 days old or younger. The bill would permit a local fire agency, upon the approval of the appropriate local governing body of the agency, to designate a safe-surrender site. The bill would specify certain circumstances in which a safe-surrender site and its personnel have no liability for a surrendered child. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.
