Summary
HB 224 updates Delaware’s death‑registration statutes so that physician assistants (PAs) may both pronounce a death and complete the medical death certificate. Registered nurses can still pronounce death but are no longer permitted to fill out the certification. The changes require the certification to be prepared and signed electronically by an authorized provider.
