Relating to postmortem examinations

Changed the timing requirement for conducting autopsies from 'within 72 hours of the time the decedent was received' to 'within 72 hours of the time the decedent was received' by striking 'request' and inserting 'decedent' to clarify that the 72-hour clock starts when the body is received, not when an autopsy is requested.

Autopsy completion deadline was clarified to be within 72 hours of receiving the decedent, rather than 72 hours from when the request was received.

Drug overdose death notification requirement was updated to reference a specific statute section (§60A-9-5(b)) and requires inclusion of cause information in the notice.

Minor text corrections and formatting adjustments were made throughout the document, including streamlining some sentence structures and removing redundant language.

Added certification language and signature blocks for the Clerks of the House and Senate, along with Governor signature lines, as required for enrolled legislation.

The document structure was updated to reflect the Engrossed Version status, including removal of introductory committee reference notes and addition of legislative website navigation elements.

Line numbers and page breaks were reorganized to align with the official legislative formatting standards for the Engrossed Version.

A note explaining the bill's purpose regarding autopsy deadlines was removed from the text, as this explanatory material is not part of the enacted law.
