Unfinished Business Calendar

House File 593, a bill for an act providing for the transfer of
custody and termination of parental rights for certain newborn
infants whose parent voluntarily surrenders physical custody at
certain health facilities and providing for immunity from prosecution
for child abandonment crimes for such parent, establishing
confidentiality protections and a penalty, and providing an effective
date, was taken up for consideration.

Barry of Harrison offered the following amendment H-1416 filed
by her and moved its adoption:

H-1416

1 Amend House File 593 as follows:
2 1. By striking everything after the enacting
3 clause, and inserting the following:
4 "Section 1. NEW SECTION. 232B.1 NEWBORN SAFE
5 HAVEN ACT - DEFINITIONS.
6 1. This chapter may be cited as the "Newborn Safe
7 Haven Act".
8 2. For the purposes of this chapter, unless the
9 context otherwise requires:
10 a. "Institutional health facility" means a
11 hospital as defined in section 135B.1, including a
12 facility providing medical or health services that is
13 open twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week
14 and is a hospital emergency room, or a health care
15 facility as defined in section 135C.1.
16 b. "Newborn infant" means a child who is, or who
17 appears to be, fourteen days of age or younger.
18 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION. 232B.2 NEWBORN INFANT
19 CUSTODY RELEASE PROCEDURES.
20 1. A parent of a newborn infant who has not
21 suffered bodily harm may voluntarily release custody
22 of the newborn infant by relinquishing physical
23 custody of the newborn infant, without expressing an
24 intent to again assume physical custody, at an
25 institutional health facility or by authorizing
26 another person to relinquish physical custody on the
27 parent's behalf. If physical custody of the newborn
28 infant is not relinquished directly to an individual
29 on duty at the institutional health facility, the
30 parent may take other actions to be reasonably sure

31 that an individual on duty is aware that the newborn
32 infant has been left at the institutional health
33 facility. The actions may include but are not limited
34 to making telephone contact with the institutional
35 health facility or a 911 service. For the purposes of
36 this chapter and for any judicial proceedings
37 associated with the newborn infant, a rebuttable
38 presumption arises that the person who relinquishes
39 physical custody at an institutional health facility
40 in accordance with this section is the newborn
41 infant's parent or has relinquished physical custody
42 with the parent's authorization.
43 2. a. Unless the parent or other person
44 relinquishing physical custody of a newborn infant
45 clearly expresses an intent to return to again assume
46 physical custody of the newborn infant, an individual
47 on duty at the facility at which physical custody of
48 the newborn infant was relinquished pursuant to
49 subsection 1 shall take physical custody of the
50 newborn infant. The individual on duty may request

Page 2

1 the parent or other person to provide the name of the
2 parent or parents and information on the medical
3 history of the newborn infant and the newborn infant's
4 parent or parents. However, the parent or other
5 person is not required to provide the names or medical
6 history information to comply with this section. The
7 individual on duty may perform reasonable acts
8 necessary to protect the physical health or safety of
9 the newborn infant. The individual on duty and the
10 institutional health facility in which the individual
11 was on duty are immune from criminal or civil
12 liability for any acts or omissions made in good faith
13 to comply with this section.
14 b. If the physical custody of the newborn infant
15 is relinquished at an institutional health facility,
16 the state shall reimburse the institutional health
17 facility for the institutional health facility's
18 actual expenses in providing care to the newborn
19 infant and in performing acts necessary to protect the
20 physical health or safety of the newborn infant. The
21 reimbursement shall be paid from moneys appropriated
22 for this purpose to the department of human services.
23 c. The individual on duty or other person
24 designated by the institutional health facility at
25 which physical custody of the newborn infant was
26 relinquished shall submit the certificate of birth
27 report as required pursuant to section 144.14.
28 3. As soon as possible after the individual on
29 duty assumes physical custody of a newborn infant

30 released under subsection 1, the individual shall
31 notify the department of human services and the
32 department shall take the actions necessary to assume
33 the care, control, and custody of the newborn infant.
34 The department shall immediately notify the juvenile
35 court and the county attorney of the department's
36 action and the circumstances surrounding the action
37 and request an ex parte order from the juvenile court
38 ordering, in accordance with the requirements of
39 section 232.78, the department to take custody of the
40 newborn infant. Upon receiving the order, the
41 department shall take custody of the newborn infant.
42 Within twenty-four hours of taking custody of the
43 newborn infant, the department shall notify the
44 juvenile court and the county attorney in writing of
45 the department's action and the circumstances
46 surrounding the action.
47 4. a. Upon being notified in writing by the
48 department under subsection 3, the county attorney
49 shall file a petition alleging the newborn infant to
50 be a child in need of assistance in accordance with

Page 3

1 section 232.87 and a petition for termination of
2 parental rights with respect to the newborn infant in
3 accordance with section 232.111, subsection 2,
4 paragraph "a". A hearing on a child in need of
5 assistance petition filed pursuant to this subsection
6 shall be held at the earliest practicable time. A
7 hearing on a termination of parental rights petition
8 filed pursuant to this subsection shall be held no
9 later than thirty days after the day the physical
10 custody of the newborn child was relinquished in
11 accordance with subsection 1 unless the juvenile court
12 continues the hearing beyond the thirty days for good
13 cause shown.
14 b. Notice of a petition filed pursuant to this
15 subsection shall be provided to any known parent and
16 others in accordance with the provisions of chapter
17 232 and shall be served upon any putative father
18 registered with the state registrar of vital
19 statistics pursuant to section 144.12A. In addition,
20 prior to holding a termination of parental rights
21 hearing with respect to the newborn infant, notice by
22 publication shall be provided as described in section
23 600A.6, subsection 5.
24 5. Reasonable efforts, as defined in section
25 232.102, that are made in regard to the newborn infant
26 shall be limited to the efforts made in a timely
27 manner to finalize a permanency plan for the newborn
28 infant.

29 6. An individual on duty at an institutional
30 health facility who assumes custody of a newborn
31 infant upon the release of the newborn infant under
32 subsection 1 shall be provided notice of any hearing
33 held concerning the newborn infant at the same time
34 notice is provided to other parties to the hearing and
35 the individual may provide testimony at the hearing.
36 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION. 232B.3 IMMUNITY.
37 Any person authorized by the parent to assist with
38 release of custody in accordance with section 232B.2
39 by relinquishing physical custody of the newborn
40 infant or to otherwise act on the parent's behalf is
41 immune from criminal prosecution for abandonment or
42 neglect of the newborn infant under section 726.3 or
43 726.6 and civil liability for any reasonable acts or
44 omissions made in good faith in assisting with the
45 release.
46 Sec. 4. NEW SECTION. 232B.4 RIGHTS OF PARENTS.
47 Either parent of a newborn infant whose custody was
48 released in accordance with section 232B.2, may
49 intervene in the child in need of assistance or
50 termination of parental rights proceedings held

Page 4

1 regarding the newborn infant and request that the
2 juvenile court grant custody of the newborn infant to
3 the parent. The requester must show by clear and
4 convincing evidence that the requester is the parent
5 of the newborn infant. If the court determines that
6 the requester is the parent of the newborn infant and
7 that granting custody of the newborn infant to the
8 parent is in the newborn infant's best interest, the
9 court shall issue an order granting custody of the
10 newborn infant to the parent. In addition to such
11 order, the court may order services for the newborn
12 infant and the parent as are in the best interest of
13 the newborn infant.

15 PROTECTIONS.
