Fees recoverable by coroner or medical examiner modification
This bill modifies Minnesota law to allow coroners and medical examiners to charge fees for specific administrative services. It authorizes charges for cremation approval, report duplication, and other administrative functions, as well as fees for medical record reviews when death records cannot be completed by other parties. These fees must be reasonable and approved by the county board to cover actual expenses. The changes directly affect coroners, medical examiners, and the facilities or individuals involved in death record processing.
