AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan law on investigations into the causes of death. It requires county medical examiners to investigate deaths by violence, unexpected deaths, and deaths without medical attendance within the previous year or recent hospice care. The bill also allows medical examiners to subpoena records related to the investigation and exempts those records from public disclosure. Additionally, the bill requires healthcare providers to notify the medical examiner of certain unexpected or suspicious deaths, and allows the examiner to refer cases involving elderly or vulnerable adults to a review team. The bill will only take effect if a related bill, House Bill 5043, is also enacted.
