§ 23-5.1-2 Duty of law enforcement
officers. –
It shall be the duty of all law enforcement officers in this state to make a
diligent effort to determine if any person they may find in a semi-conscious or
unconscious condition is an epileptic or diabetic or a person who is suffering
from any other type of illness which would cause semi-consciousness or
unconsciousness by looking for an identification bracelet. If any law
enforcement officer shall determine that an epileptic or diabetic person is
actually suffering from an affliction that would cause semi-consciousness or
unconsciousness, it shall be his or her duty to have the person immediately
transported to a physician or to some facility where the services of a
physician are available.
