The list of age limits Nebraska lawmakers will consider to stop rampant use of the state's open-ended Safe Haven Law now includes 30 days.

State Sen. Chris Langemeier of Schuyler said Monday Gov. Dave Heineman's proposal of three days could leave babies at risk. "Everything that goes along with being a new parent hasn't set in yet," said Langemeier.

His amendment to Heineman's bill will compete with another introduced on Saturday that would cap the age at one year. Other amendments are expected to be introduced, including one calling for a four-month age limit.

The governor says he's flexible on an age limit and would support an age limit up to 30 days old. The Legislature will begin debating Heinemann's bill on Tuesday and could amend it so it has an age limit other than 30 days.

Nebraska's Safe Haven Law currently has no age limit and has led to the drop-off of 34 children since the law took effect in July, many of them preteens and teenagers.

A public hearing was scheduled for Monday afternoon in the special session of the Nebraska Legislature that began last Friday. Forty of the 49 state senators have indicated they support a change to the law that will make it apply specifically to infants.

A final vote could come Friday. Gov. Heineman will have five days to sign a bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature.

Demonstrators gathered Monday on the steps of the Capitol, calling for more emergency services for families in crisis. It's something they say is desprately needed, yet won't be addressed during the current debate.
