County coroners.

Summary

The bill requires coroners and deputy coroners to complete a state‑approved training course and makes it a Class B misdemeanor to conduct investigations or sign death certificates without it. It also changes how hospitals retain blood or tissue for investigations and clarifies the roles of law‑enforcement and coroners at death scenes. Counties must reimburse the training board for costs if officials miss the deadline, and they can recover those funds from the individual who failed to train.
