Sacramento State is passionate about our commitment to student safety, and its primary concern is
the health and safety of its members. The Medical Amnesty and Good Samaritan (MAGS) Protocol
removes barriers when seeking help for community members in potentially life-threatening
situations involving personal use of alcohol and other drugs or substances. The MAGS Protocol
encourages shared responsibility of our community, commits to educational outcomes, and generally
removes punitive sanctions for infractions involving alcohol and/or other drugs and substances for
both the person and/or group making a call for help in good faith as well as the person experiencing
a medical emergency.
