An Act relating to the surrender of infants; relating to civil history; and providing for an effective date.

The list of locations where an infant can be safely surrendered was modified to remove specific references to state trooper posts, fire departments, and facilities designated by the commissioner, retaining only peace officers, community health aides, physicians, hospital employees, and designated organizations.

Requirements for infant safety devices were updated to mandate an automated lock that secures the infant inside the device and to clarify the signage must state that surrender constitutes abandonment and may lead to termination of parental rights.

The bill's introduction date was changed from March 14, 2025, to May 13, 2025, and the referring committee was changed from Judiciary to Rules.

The bill was re-referred to the Rules Committee after being originally referred to the Judiciary Committee, indicating a procedural change in the legislative process.

Added tribal health organizations to the list of facilities authorized to house infant safety devices.

Updated mandatory signage requirements to include crisis support resources, alternatives to surrender, and a specific warning about the legal consequences of using the device.

Changed the bill header to reflect committee sponsorship and updated the effective date reference.
