Bill > H1743

This bill amends Chapter 94C of the General Laws to allow police officers to receive, possess, and administer epinephrine autoinjectors to individuals experiencing an anaphylactic reaction. The bill provides immunity from civil liability for police officers who act in good faith when providing or obtaining such assistance, unless their actions constitute willful, wanton, or reckless conduct. Additionally, the bill establishes that individuals who, in good faith, seek medical assistance for someone experiencing an anaphylactic reaction will not be charged or prosecuted for possession of a controlled substance if the evidence for the charge was gained as a result of the anaphylactic reaction and the need for medical assistance.
