Arizona HB2365 amends protocols for safe haven providers handling newborns left at designated locations.
Arizona HB2365 amends Section 8-528 to establish protocols for safe haven providers handling newborns left at designated locations. Safe haven providers must transport the infant to a hospital for examination, notify the department, and contact private adoption agencies. If an agency agrees to take custody, they must do so within 24 hours. If no agency agrees, the department contacts the next agency on a rotating list. If no agency takes custody within 48 hours, the department assumes responsibility. The bill also addresses reimbursement for medical examinations and treatment.
