Purdue Medical Amnesty Policy
“We don’t want [students] to be afraid if they have a friend in need. They don’t have to be afraid of the University saying anything.”

Indiana Lifeline Law
“This [Lifeline Law] tells young adults that our priority is to get professional medical attention to those who need it, no matter what. It will remove the disincentives currently in place and encourage Hoosiers to seek medical assistance for those who need it.”
