Make the call, safe a life
The Indiana Lifeline Law provides limited immunity from arrest and prosecution for the crimes of public intoxication, minor possession, minor consumption, and minor transport to persons who seek medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related health emergency.
In order to receive immunity, the person must demonstrate that they are acting in good faith by completing ALL of the following:
- Providing their full name and any other relevant information requested by law enforcement officers
- Remaining on the scene with the person in need of help until law enforcement and emergency medical assistance arrive
- Cooperating with authorities on the scene
The law will not interfere with law enforcement procedures or limit the ability to prosecute for other criminal offenses such as providing to a minor, operating while intoxicated, or possession of a controlled substance.
