Bill > SB1011

This bill amends existing Arizona law concerning the duties of county medical examiners, specifically in cases of sudden infant death. It mandates that when investigating a sudden and unexplained infant death, the medical examiner or a forensic pathologist must review the infant's immunization and vaccination history, as well as any countermeasures administered within the 90 days prior to death. Furthermore, the bill requires that all such sudden and unexplained infant deaths be reported to a national case registry, which tracks sudden unexpected infant deaths and sudden death in the young, following protocols established by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This addition aims to enhance data collection and understanding of infant mortality causes.
