Again I don't know where precisely to look for the regular laws. But that deals with actually providing the aid yourself. You aren't required to do that, particularily if there is danger. I believe the laws have to do with getting them aid. For example if you see someone get shot and you just walk off and leave them gasping on the ground and don't bother to call an ambulance or anything I believe you get charged with something.
