Alaska SB9 establishes a safe surrender law for infants, allowing parents to relinquish custody without legal consequences.
Alaska SB9 creates a legal framework for the safe surrender of infants by parents. Parents can surrender their infants at designated facilities without facing prosecution, provided the infant is unharmed. Facilities must have an infant safety device that is climate-controlled, visible, and equipped with a surveillance system and an automatic emergency alert. The bill also mandates that designated facilities notify the appropriate authorities immediately upon receiving a surrendered infant.
