This bill, known as the Samaritan Efforts to Ensure Key Health Emergency and Life-saving Protections Act or the SEEK HELP Act, aims to provide protections from prosecution for drug possession to individuals who seek medical assistance when witnessing or experiencing an overdose. The key provisions of the bill include: (1) civil liability protections for individuals who administer opioid overdose reversal drugs in good faith; (2) criminal liability protections for individuals who, in good faith, seek medical assistance for themselves or others experiencing a drug overdose; (3) allowing states to use certain grant funds to conduct public awareness campaigns and provide training on applicable overdose Good Samaritan laws; and (4) requiring a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to study the effectiveness and implementation of these Good Samaritan laws.
