SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Safe reporting of overdoses. Provides that no individual who sought or obtained emergency medical attention for himself or for another individual because of a drug or alcohol-related overdose may be arrested, charged, or prosecuted for simple possession of a controlled substance or a synthetic cannabinoid or for the unlawful purchase, possession, or consumption of alcohol if the evidence for the charge was gained as a result of the individual seeking or obtaining emergency medical attention. This limited immunity does not prohibit the use of such evidence in the prosecution of other individuals or the prosecution of an individual for any other offense.
