Bill > S08788

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 courses, with the cost generally being their responsibility unless reimbursed by the county. The bill also clarifies that failure to meet these continuing education requirements will bar them from practice, though counties may grant temporary waivers for military service or other good cause, and it delays the effective date of these requirements by one year from when the bill becomes law.
