Existing law provides that "infant" means a child not previously subjected to abuse or
neglect, who is not more than 60 days old as determined within a reasonable degree of
medical certainty by an examining physician.
New law retains existing law and further provides, if the infant was admitted to a neonatal
intensive care unit upon birth and has not been discharged from the hospital, then the 60 days
shall commence from the date of initial discharge.
Effective August 1, 2024.
