There is a treaty called the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Only the US and Somalia have not ratified that treaty. As recent as the Obama administration (Hilary Clinton) they have tried to pass it here in the US but it failed. So they are bypassing the treaty process with laws like this bill you describe coming for a vote in NY.
Could this be fought on the basis of the definition of 'infant'? Or will that effectively cause them to simple change the wording to something they had intended all along? 'Incremental' being the name of their game...
