Immunity from Prosecution for Overdosing – Updating an older law, new language in Tenn. Code Ann. § 63-1-156(b) states, “Any person who is experiencing a drug overdose and who in good faith seeks medical assistance for or is the subject of a request for medical assistance shall not be arrested, charged, or prosecuted for a drug violation if the evidence for the arrest, charge, or prosecution of the drug violation resulted from seeking such medical assistance.” The immunity shall apply to a person experiencing an overdose for the first time, but prosecution for charges arising out of subsequent drug overdoses are left to the discretion of the responding law enforcement officer or District Attorney General’s office.
