Good Samaritan Laws (by State)
(11-28-05)
-- The "Good Samaritan Law" is based on the philosophy that good
deeds should not be punished. The first Good Samaritan law was
passed in 1959. Since then, all states have passed legislation
intended to encourage timely voluntary emergency care. The law
trades or cancels the right of a person to hold the rescuer
responsible for a bad outcome in exchange for immunity that
encourages people to step forward and perform acts of rescue or
first aid.
