AI Summary
This bill aims to promote public safety and certainty related to child deaths by requiring the findings and report of a medical examiner performing an autopsy on a child under the age of two to be subject to review and approval by the chief medical examiner. This ensures an additional level of oversight and approval for autopsies conducted on young children, which can help provide greater confidence in the conclusions and prevent potential errors or inconsistencies.
