Numbers
Statistics for states where there are installed baby boxes or drawers (e.g., Arizona). States are listed in order of number of installed boxes. For more details of cases, see SHBB Cases by State. “In Use” indicates the number of boxes that are actually in use in a state and have not been deactivated, whether related to functional problems with a box or regulatory issues that prompted the state to order the closure of a box. Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, and Montana recently passed laws, but they are not in effect yet.
