Bill > A09439

This bill requires coroners and coroner's deputies to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of state-approved continuing education in medical-legal investigation every three years, in addition to initial training, with costs generally borne by the individual but potentially reimbursed by the county. The bill also clarifies that individuals who do not meet these continuing education requirements will be barred from practice unless their county grants a temporary waiver for specific reasons like extended military duty or other good cause, and it adjusts the effective date of these requirements to one year after the law becomes official, ensuring that coroners and deputies have time to comply after completing their initial training.
