Lawmaker files 'baby box' bill to allow safe haven boxes to be installed at fire stations

An Indiana lawmaker has filed a bill to expand the use of "baby boxes" to include fire stations across the state.  Last year, lawmakers approved a law allowing hospitals to install baby boxes where infants could be safely left inside. That law grandfathered in two already-implemented boxes at fire stations.  The new bill, authored by Senator Travis Holdman (R-Markle), is a continuation of that bill that would allow fire stations that are staffed around the clock to install the boxes as well.
