HB 90 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Newborn child safe havens-age of child.

HB 90 amends Wyoming's safe haven law to change the age limit for newborns that can be left at designated safe haven locations (like hospitals or emergency services). The bill reduces the allowable age from 60 days to 14 days or younger, meaning only infants under two weeks old can be relinquished under this provision. This directly affects parents seeking to safely surrender newborns and the safe haven providers who accept them. The change takes effect July 1, 2024.
