Plain-English Summary

The bill aims to encourage people struggling with substance abuse or mental health crises to seek help from emergency services without fear of legal consequences for drug possession or related offenses. It would likely protect individuals who call 911 or go to emergency rooms from being arrested or prosecuted for drug-related charges they admit to during that interaction. This approach is designed to save lives by removing barriers that might otherwise prevent someone in crisis from getting medical treatment.
