The Study Committee Bill
Study committee to boost awareness of overdose immunity law
Establishing a committee to study raising awareness of the law providing immunity from liability in certain cases involving drug overdoses.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would create a committee to study how to tell people about the Samaritan law that protects them when they call for help during a drug overdose.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see more outreach on the immunity rule, so they may be more likely to call 911 in an overdose, saving lives; the committee will shape future education and funding.
