Bill Summary
Relative to insurance companies and death certificates. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws to require the chief medical examiner's office to issue a letter to a life insurance beneficiary regarding their role in the decedent's death, if the cause of death is listed as "pending" on the death certificate. It also requires insurance companies to process a claim from a beneficiary upon receiving a death certificate with the cause listed as "pending" and the letter from the medical examiner's office, rather than requiring a certified death certificate with the cause of death listed.
