GSLs are designed to prioritize the wellbeing of a person experiencing an overdose and encourage people to administer naloxone to anyone who presents with signs of opioid overdose and to request emergency services if they experience or witness a drug overdose. These laws typically address naloxone access, civil liability related to administrating naloxone and acting in good faith, and the provision of limited immunity for criminal drug-related offenses on the scene of an overdose. These laws vary among states as to the level of protection and to whom it applies; therefore, justice practitioners are encouraged to consult their state laws to learn more.
