What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides immunity from certain criminal prosecutions for a person

(aider) who brings another person to an emergency room or other health facility, who

summons police or emergency medical assistance, or who administers aid to another

person because the aider believes the other person is suffering from an overdose or

other adverse reaction to a controlled substance or a controlled substance analog.

Under the bill, the aider may not be prosecuted for possession of a controlled

substance or a controlled substance analog under the circumstances that led him or

her to summon or provide emergency assistance.

Under the bill, a person may not be prosecuted for possessing naloxone or for

administering or delivering naloxone to another person if he or she administered

naloxone to the other person with the good faith belief that the other person was

suffering from an overdose or an adverse reaction to a controlled substance or a

controlled substance analog and that it was necessary to deliver or administer the

naloxone in order to save the other person's life.
