What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law grants to an aider immunity from prosecution for certain

controlled substance crimes and immunity from having probation, parole, or

extended supervision revoked for possessing a controlled substance or controlled

substance analog. Under current law, an aider is a person 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. Current law 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 provided that the aided person completes a drug treatment

program.

The current law provisions relating to revocation of probation, parole, or

extended supervision and to aided persons are set to sunset on August 1, 2020, at

which time the law will provide to aiders immunity from prosecution only for certain

controlled substance crimes. This bill repeals the sunsetting of the provisions

relating to probation, parole, or extended supervision and aided persons so that

current law will remain in place after August 1, 2020.
