The bill amends the definition of "infant" in the Louisiana Children's Code under Article 1150(4) as part of the Safe Haven Law. The revised definition specifies that an "infant" is a child not previously subjected to abuse or neglect and who is not more than sixty days old, as determined by an examining physician.

A significant addition to the definition clarifies that if an infant has been admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit at birth and has not yet been discharged from the hospital, the sixty-day age limit will begin from the date of the infant's initial discharge rather than from birth. This change aims to provide clearer guidelines regarding the age of infants eligible under the Safe Haven Law.
