Nebraska legislators have advanced a bill that would hold harmless youth who call law enforcement in cases of alcohol poisoning.
Senator Adam Morfeld of Lincoln sponsors the bill that would provide limited legal immunity to juveniles who seek help for themselves or others who need immediate medical help due to alcohol poisoning. Morfeld says too many youth won’t make that call now, because they fear they will be arrested for possessing alcohol. . .

 

Senator Kathy Campbell of Lincoln says it is critical that if you believe someone has had too much to drink that you not leave that person. . .

The bill provides youth limited liability for a charge of minor in possession if they call for medical assistance.
