What it does
Existing law authorizes a peace officer to take into temporary custody, without a warrant, a minor who is in a hospital if the release of the minor to a prospective adoptive parent poses an immediate danger to the minor's health or safety. However, existing law prohibits a peace officer from taking into custody, without a warrant, a newborn child who is in a hospital, who tested positive for illegal drugs or whose birth mother tested positive for illegal drugs, who is the subject of an adoption petition, and whose release to the prospective adoptive parents does not pose an immediate danger to him or her.
