What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a person aids a person believed to be experiencing a drug overdose by bringing the person to the emergency room, hospital, fire station, or other health care facility or by calling 911, the police, or other first responders or health care providers, the aider is immune from prosecution for certain criminal charges relating to possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia. This bill specifies that, in order to be afforded immunity under this provision, an aider must provide assistance as soon as reasonably possible and without unnecessary delay.
