Cox Irvin Murt Schroeder Mr. ZABEL. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Culver James Mustello Simmons The Good Samaritan law is a law that has saved many lives, Cutler Jones Nelson Sonney by encouraging people to seek medical help for those suffering Day Jozwiak Nesbit Staats Diamond Kail O'Neal Struzzi overdoses on heroin and other dangerous drugs. It was enacted in DiGirolamo Kaufer Oberlander Thomas 2014, before my time, and to those of you who were here and Dunbar Kauffman Ortitay Tobash enacted that law, thank you. It has undoubtedly saved lives. Dush Keefer Owlett Toepel Unfortunately, the law has an unintended omission in its Ecker Keller Peifer Toohil Emrick Klunk Pickett Topper language. As it stands right now, our Good Samaritan law offers Everett Knowles Polinchock Walsh immunity to the overdose victim and the person reporting the Farry Lawrence Puskaric Warner overdose, but it does not expressly extend that protection when Fee Lewis Pyle Wentling the reporter and the victim are one in the same person; in other Gabler Mackenzie Quinn Wheeland Gaydos Maloney Rader White words, when someone calls 911 to self-report an overdose. Now, Gillen Marshall Rapp Zimmerman last year a Superior Court panel caught that exact problem, that Gillespie Masser Reese problem with the law, saying that while the language of the Gleim Mehaffie Rigby Turzai, statute does not expressly provide immunity under the Gregory Mentzer Roae Speaker Greiner circumstances, to deny that immunity would frustrate the legislative intent. My amendment would simply clean that up. It NOT VOTING–0 would fix this unintentional omission to include self-reported overdoses, which is assuredly what we intended here 5 years ago, EXCUSED–18 and it would also thereby strengthen what is already an effective and compassionate piece of legislation.
