Earlier this year, the Legislature passed LB 487, which creates a Good Samaritan drug overdose immunity law for the state of Nebraska. The bill, effective September 2017, works like this:

• You or a friend is experiencing a drug overdose
• You call 911 for medical attention for yourself or your friend(s)
• Stay on the scene and cooperate with police and medical authorities
• You, the person you are helping and anyone else assisting are immune from the drug possession and paraphernalia charges
