Bill > A00734

This bill amends the county law by adding a new section that allows the county with jurisdiction over a deceased person to seek reimbursement for coroner and medical examiner services from the county where the decedent was a resident. Specifically, the bill provides a legal mechanism for the county that performs the coroner's examination or medical investigation to recover the associated fees and service costs from the county of the deceased person's residence. This provision helps ensure that the financial burden of conducting post-mortem examinations is appropriately allocated between counties, with the county of residence being responsible for compensating the county where the actual services were performed. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment.
