revise qualifications for immunity from prosecution following a drug-related overdose.

Summary

The bill revises South Dakota’s overdose‑immunity law so that protection from arrest or prosecution only applies when the evidence against a person was obtained because of the overdose emergency. It covers anyone who experiences a drug‑related overdose and either they or another person contacts police or emergency services for medical help. The change narrows the scope of immunity to those directly tied to the emergency situation.
