California AB2073 establishes safe-surrender sites for infants up to 72 hours old, ensuring anonymity and immunity for parents and volunteers.

California AB2073 amends the Health and Safety Code to create safe-surrender sites for infants up to 72 hours old. These sites, located in hospitals or designated by local authorities, allow parents to surrender their child anonymously without fear of prosecution. The bill mandates that personal identifying information of the surrendering parent be redacted and kept confidential. Volunteers assisting in the surrender process are granted immunity from civil liability for injury or death of the child, provided they act in good faith.
