Bill Summary

For legislation to provide a lifeline medical amnesty for persons under age 21. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill provides a lifeline medical amnesty for persons under the age of 21 who, in good faith, seek medical assistance for someone experiencing an alcohol-related overdose. Under this bill, individuals under 21 would not be charged or prosecuted for possession of alcohol if the evidence was obtained as a result of seeking medical assistance, as long as they adhere to certain conditions, such as providing their full name and cooperating with law enforcement and emergency medical personnel. The bill also protects individuals under 21 who experience an alcohol-related overdose and seek medical assistance for themselves. However, the bill does not limit the ability of law enforcement to seize evidence or make arrests for other offenses.
