Summary
OPPOSE
This bill puts forward an affidavit process that could easily allow for increased kidnapping and human trafficking of children. The guardrails for this bill are insufficient, and the proposed law is riddled with logistical problems that don’t require authority figures to verify that a child is being surrendered to a legitimate adult in the case of a parent being detained, as is the case with designated emergency contacts, court sanctioned standby guardians, or when Child Protective Services gets involved.
Last Action
Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 664, Statutes of 2025.
