Indiana Lawmakers Look At Overdose Liability Changes

Last updated on Monday, November 26, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana lawmakers say they want to make it easier for someone to call 911 during a drug overdose.

Lawmakers are looking at a plan that would eliminate criminal charges for people who call 911 to report an overdose.

Police say, right now, too many people don't call for help because they fear they will get in trouble.

The proposal is part of the agenda for lawmakers when they return in the new year.
