Bill > S4112

This bill, the Samaritan Efforts to Ensure Key Health Emergency and Life-saving Protections (SEEK HELP) Act, provides civil liability protections for individuals who in good faith administer opioid overdose reversal drugs to someone experiencing an overdose. It also offers criminal liability protections for individuals who seek medical assistance for themselves or others experiencing a drug overdose, as long as they did not do so during the execution of a lawful search or arrest. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a public awareness campaign on these liability protections and allows states to use certain grant funding to raise awareness about their own "Good Samaritan" overdose laws. Finally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office to study the implementation and effectiveness of these Good Samaritan laws across the country.
