An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in offenses against the family, further providing for newborn protection; in child protective services, further providing for definitions and for taking child into protective custody; and, in newborn protection, further providing for definitions and for incubators for newborns, providing for health care providers at urgent care centers accepting newborns and further providing for reporting acceptance of newborns, for immunity, for duty of hospital and for duties of department.

This bill expands newborn protection laws in Pennsylvania by allowing parents to leave their infants with hospitals, police stations, emergency services providers, and urgent care centers without facing criminal charges. It grants immunity to these facilities and their staff, including security and administrative personnel, provided the newborn is not a victim of abuse and the parent clearly intends to surrender the child. The legislation also permits urgent care centers to accept newborns and take them into protective custody, while requiring hospitals and other facilities to install incubators with specific safety features like automatic 911 alerts. Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "urgent care center" and "emergency services provider" to clarify who is authorized to handle these situations.
