Died in Health Professions & Programs Subcommittee
Summary
The bill would require district medical examiners to conduct detailed autopsies—including microscopic, toxicology, and immunization record reviews—for sudden infant deaths, sudden unexpected infant deaths, sudden death in the young, and sudden arrhythmic death syndrome, and then report those cases to the CDC‑run national registry within 30 days. It also imposes fines up to $5,000 and possible disciplinary action for examiners who fail to report. The aim is to improve data collection for research and prevention of these deaths.
