S 8788 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to mandatory continuing education requirements for coroners and coroner's deputies

This bill requires New York coroners and coroner's deputies to complete 30 hours of state-approved continuing education in medical-legal investigation every three years. It directly affects all elected or appointed county coroners and deputies by mandating ongoing training to maintain their certification. Key provisions include triennial registration with the Department of Health, maintaining compliance records for seven years, and exemptions for the first year after initial training or for military service. The law specifies that counties may reimburse costs but places responsibility for course fees on the individual. Failure to meet requirements bars practice until compliance is verified.
