2010 Senate Bill 1119 ↩

House Roll Call 557: Passed

To revise details of a certain court procedure under the “<a href="http://archive.legislature.mi.gov/documents/1999-2000/billanalysis/House/pdf/1999-HLA-5543-B.pdf">“Safe Delivery of Newborns Law”</a>” passed in 2000 to spell out the procedures to be followed when a new mother surrenders a newborn to an emergency services provider. The bill would allow the court to order a child placing agency to petition for jurisdiction under the juvenile code, instead of terminating the petitioner's parental rights and giving a child placing agency care and custody, if the court found that granting custody to the parent would not serve the newborn's best interests.
