An Act To Amend Maine'S Good Samaritan Laws Regarding Suspected Drug-Related Overdoses

Summary

The bill updates Maine’s Good Samaritan protections so that anyone at a location where emergency responders are called for a suspected drug overdose—or for a person showing overdose symptoms—receives immunity from arrest, prosecution, and certain parole or probation revocations while responders are on scene. It adds a clear definition of overdose symptoms and limits the immunity period to the time responders are present.
