HB 1607

Governor Chris Sununu passed HB 1607 into law!

NH has a Safe Haven Law that allows a parent to relinquish his/her child. He or she can place the child in a safe haven baby box, hospital, police station, and firefighter station. HB1607 expands the age of a child to be dropped off from 7 days to 61 days and provides protection from legal action to the parent.

HB1607 also added an “exclusionary rule” provision. The clause would prevent the boxes from being used as evidence to prosecute criminals. NH Cornerstone has more information about this bill here.
