(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Indiana currently has 51 Safe Haven Baby Boxes statewide.
That number could see a significant increase if new legislation is passed into law.
State Rep. Randy Frye (R-Greensburg) has authored House Bill 1032, which would help increase the number of Safe Haven Baby Boxes across the state.
The House Committee on Veterans Affairs and Public Safety voted unanimously on Thursday in support of Frye’s legislation.
Frye says his bill would make it easier for communities to install baby boxes. The bill would allow communities to install a baby box at a volunteer fire station located in a municipality with a full-time police department. The bill would also allow counties with professional emergency medical service providers with a 24/7 staffed facility to install boxes.
