Pub. Rec./Autopsy Reports of Sudden and Expected Deaths

Summary

The bill would keep autopsy reports of infants, children, or any person whose death is sudden and unexpected or suspected to be from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome private, limiting public access. Parents, adult siblings, and the Department of Health could still obtain the reports for personal or epidemiological purposes, and de‑identified data could be shared for research. It aims to protect families from emotional harm while allowing health monitoring.
