A member’s bill from Green MP Kahurangi Carter has passed its first reading in Parliament.

The proposed law would protect people from minor drug charges if they call emergency services for someone experiencing an overdose or bad reaction.

Nick speaks to NZ Drug Foundation Executive Director Sarah Helm to find out more about the bill and its impacts.

Helm says 3 Kiwis die from preventable overdoses each week, and this bill could reduce that.
