Baby safety devices; provide for termination of parental rights and proceedings concerning the child.

SB 2727 clarifies that placing a newborn (45 days or younger) in a designated baby safety device automatically terminates parental rights, with no requirement for parent identification. It requires youth courts to hold a shelter hearing within 48 hours of child custody transfer to child protection services and mandates an adjudicatory hearing within 90 days. The bill specifies device requirements (climate-controlled, dual alarms, 24/7 staffing) and prohibits adoption agencies from installing such devices. It directly affects parents seeking anonymous newborn surrender and child protection agencies managing the process. The bill died in committee in 2026 and did not become law.
