California AB1628, known as The Keeping Infants from Danger (KID) Act, allows parents or individuals with lawful custody to surrender infants up to 30 days old at designated safe-surrender sites without facing prosecution for abandonment. These sites, which can be public or private hospitals, must be approved by local authorities. Personnel at these sites must ensure the child's safety and notify child protective services.
