Relates to mandatory continuing education requirements for coroners and coroner's deputies
This bill mandates that coroners and their deputies complete 30 hours of state-approved continuing education in medical-legal investigation every three years. The cost of these courses is primarily the responsibility of the individual, though counties have the option to reimburse them. Coroners who fail to meet these requirements must stop practicing until they complete the necessary training and receive a certificate of completion. Additionally, the bill includes an exemption for the first year after appointment or election and allows for adjustments in cases of health issues or military service.
