N.J. Admin. Code § 3A:18-1.1
Current through Register Vol. 57, No. 1, January 6, 2025
The purpose of this chapter is to provide instruction and guidance for the implementation of the New Jersey Safe Haven Infant Protection Act, N.J.S.A. 30:4C-15.6 et seq. These rules ensure that a parent or parents who want to permanently give up parental rights to an infant will have a safe place to leave the live infant, rather than abandoning the infant in a life-threatening situation where the infant could be harmed or die. These rules permit the parent to remain anonymous and provide the parent with an affirmative defense against prosecution for abandonment under specified circumstances.
