WI SB889

Permanently restores "Good Samaritan" immunity protections from 2017 Wisconsin Act 33 that expired on August 1, 2020

Protects persons ("aiders") who call for emergency help during a drug overdose from prosecution for drug possession, paraphernalia, and masking agents, and from revocation of parole, probation, or extended supervision

Protects overdose victims ("aided persons") from parole, probation, or extended supervision revocation if they complete a treatment program or, if unavailable/unaffordable, serve at least 15 days in county jail

Requires district attorneys to offer aided persons facing drug possession charges a deferred prosecution agreement that includes completing a treatment program

Immunity for aiders applies only if they seek assistance "as soon as practicable" after believing someone is suffering an overdose or adverse reaction
