Geanie Morrison

Geanie Williams Morrison (born October 6, 1950)

Legislative career

In 1999, Morrison introduced legislation creating the Safe-haven law. This law decriminalizes the leaving of unharmed infants with statutorily designated private persons so that the child becomes a ward of the state in order to eliminate child abandonment. Morrison's legislation became a blueprint and by 2008 similar laws were adopted across the country.

Morrison was the first chairperson of the Environmental Regulation Committee when it was created in 2015. She was succeeded by AJ Louderback in 2024.
