Bill > LD248

This bill proposes to rename the "office administrator" position in the Office of Chief Medical Examiner to "Director of Medical Examiner Operations" throughout the existing legal text. The bill makes primarily terminological changes to section 22 MRSA §3022, sub-§2-A, replacing all references to "office administrator" with "Director of Medical Examiner Operations". The substantive provisions remain the same: the Chief Medical Examiner may still appoint this position, who will serve at the Chief Medical Examiner's pleasure and perform delegated duties. The compensation for this position will continue to be set by the Chief Medical Examiner and subject to approval by the Attorney General. While the bill appears to be a simple renaming, it may reflect an intent to elevate the administrative role's perceived status or significance within the medical examiner's office by using a more formal and descriptive title.
