The proposed bill establishes a legal duty for individuals present at the scene of an emergency to assist those at risk of serious bodily injury or who have already suffered such injuries. Specifically, it mandates that these individuals must provide assistance, to the extent that it does not endanger themselves or others, by seeking help from law enforcement or medical personnel. Failure to comply with this duty would result in a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that protect individuals from civil liability when they provide assistance in good faith and without compensation. This immunity from liability applies unless the individual acts in a willful, wanton, or reckless manner while assisting. However, it is important to note that this immunity does not extend to individuals who are providing assistance as part of their employment and are receiving or expecting compensation for their actions.
