AI Summary
This bill modifies the Safe Place for Newborns provisions in Minnesota. It expands the definition of a "safe place" to include fire stations with 24/7 staffing, health care providers offering urgent care, newborn safety devices installed at safe places, and ambulance services responding to 911 calls from a mother or authorized person to relinquish a newborn. The bill also provides immunity from criminal and civil liability for safe places and their employees when receiving a newborn left in compliance with the law, and prohibits prosecution for any crime based solely on leaving a newborn at a safe place.
