New York's "Good Samaritan" overdose law had been in effect for more than a year when Stephanie OD'd in late 2012.
And I'm sure Jon WAS very grateful -- the law may have saved his daughter's life, and it definitely saved her from having a criminal record. It's probably what inspired him to get involved with getting a New Jersey version passed.
