Good Samaritan Overdose
Prevention Bill Passes the Assembly
Encourage Senate to Pass
Crucial Legislation

The Assembly has passed the Good Samaritan bill (A8147/S5191), which seeks to encourage people to contact 911 in the event of a suspected overdose. The bill prioritizes saving lives over arrests and encourages people to call for emergency services in the event of a suspected overdose. It is critical that the Senate now be encouraged to pass the bill. Please take action by calling your Senators (click on "Take Action" or "Call Now" for a script to utilize) and encourage them to pass this life-saving bill.
