Bill overview
This bill updates Arizona law regarding ‘safe haven providers,’ which are individuals and institutions that allow parents to anonymously surrender newborn infants without fear of legal repercussions. It clarifies the protocols for safe haven providers, including hospitals, fire stations, and certain health care institutions, outlining steps they must take when a baby is left with them, such as immediate transport to a hospital and notification of the Department of Child Safety. The bill also addresses liability and ensures that safe haven providers comply with adoption laws.
