What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill grants immunity from having probation, parole, or extended

supervision revoked for possessing a controlled substance or controlled substance

analog to a person, called an aider, who summons or provides emergency medical

assistance to another person because the aider believes the other person is suffering

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

substance analog. This bill also grants immunity from prosecution or from having

probation, parole, or extended supervision revoked for possessing a controlled

substance or controlled substance analog to the aided person in this circumstance.

This is an extension of current law, which grants immunity from prosecution

for possessing a controlled substance or controlled substance analog to an aider who

summons or provides emergency medical assistance to another person because the

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

reaction to a controlled substance or controlled substance analog.
