Amends South Carolina law to allow safe havens to use newborn safety devices for infants.

The bill amends South Carolina law to allow safe havens to use newborn safety devices for infants. These devices are padded and climate-controlled receptacles that can be located in visible or non-visible areas, but must be equipped with a motion sensor and dual alarm system. Safe havens must notify the Department of Social Services when they take custody of an infant. The Department must maintain confidentiality of the infant's information and file a petition for termination of parental rights.
