2019 House Bill 4507

Make it a crime to not rescue person in need

Introduced in the House

April 25, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Julie Brixie (D-69)

To make it a crime subject to 90 days in jail to not give reasonable assistance to another individual who is exposed to grave physical harm when doing so does not endanger the rescuer. The bill would also limit the liability of the rescuer except for gross negligence (unless he or she expects to get paid).

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
