Burial-transit permit amendments.
This Wyoming bill amends burial-transit permit rules to allow temporary permits for two specific scenarios: (1) removing bodies across state lines for organ/bone/skin donation (requiring return for final disposition), and (2) moving bodies for coroner examinations (also requiring return). It updates the definition of "final disposition" to include newer methods like alkaline hydrolysis and clarifies that permits require electronic death certificates and compliance with health regulations. The changes directly affect funeral directors, coroners, and medical donation programs by streamlining interstate movement for these limited purposes. The bill takes effect July 1, 2023.
