Good Samaritan O-D law

There’s a new federal law designed to reduce the number of people who die from drug overdoses.

The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act was introduced as a private member’s bill last year. It got royal assent yesterday. The law provides immunity from simple possession charges for anyone calling 9-1-1 to report an O-D.
