New Washington law encourages drug OD 911 calls

OLYMPIA, Wash. — A new law that takes effect Thursday in Washington aims to encourage people to report drug overdoses.

The Daily Herald of Everett reports the “911 Good Samaritan” law grants limited immunity to people who call for help. The idea is to get medical attention in time to prevent an overdose death.
