Bill Title: Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Provides that a person is immune from criminal liability for certain violations of the Act, and a law enforcement officer may not charge or otherwise take a person into custody for those violations, if the law enforcement officer, after making a reasonable determination and considering the facts and surrounding circumstances, reasonably believes that: (1) the law enforcement officer has contact with that person because the person requested medical assistance for an individual who reasonably appeared to be in need of medical assistance due to alcohol consumption; (2) the person provided his or her full name and any other relevant information to the law enforcement officer; (3) the person remained at the scene with the individual needing medical assistance until emergency medical assistance personnel arrived; and (4) the person cooperated with emergency medical assistance personnel and law enforcement officers at the scene.
