Amends Maine's Good Samaritan laws to provide immunity from arrest, prosecution, and revocation or termination proceedings for individuals.
This bill amends Maine's Good Samaritan laws to expand immunity protections for individuals experiencing a drug-related overdose. It ensures that individuals are immune from arrest, prosecution, and revocation or termination proceedings if the grounds for these actions are obtained as a result of a medical professional or law enforcement officer responding to a request for medical assistance. The immunity applies to the duration of the response to the medical emergency and ends when the medical professional or law enforcement officer leaves the location.
