AI Summary

This bill aims to promote access to emergency medical services for minors. It establishes an affirmative defense against prosecution for the unlawful purchase, possession, transport, or consumption of alcohol if an individual, in good faith, seeks or obtains emergency medical attention for themselves or another person experiencing an overdose. The individual must remain at the scene, identify themselves to the responding law enforcement officer, and cooperate with the investigation if requested. This affirmative defense does not apply if the individual sought emergency medical attention during the execution of a search warrant, a lawful search, or a lawful arrest.
