House Sponsors: STROGER. Short description: CRIM CODE-GOOD SAMARITAN Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Adds the Duty to Aid Law to require a person to aid another who is in peril if aid can be accom- plished without harm to the person providing the aid. Penalty for failure to aid is a petty offense with a maximum fine of $100. Amends the Good Samaritan Act to exempt from liability a person who aids another if required by statute to do so. JUDICIAL NOTE (Administrative Office of Ill. Courts) There may be an increase in judicial workloads; impact on the number of judges needed cannot be determined. FISCAL NOTE (Attorney General) There would be no fiscal impact on the A.G. Office; any additional duties would be absorbed by existing resources.
