Fees recoverable by a coroner or medical examiner modified.

Summary

The bill amends Minnesota Statute 390.15 so coroners and medical examiners can bill for cremation approvals, copies of reports and other administrative tasks, but only after a county board signs off. It also lets them charge for reviewing medical records when another party refuses to act as the death certifier, covering the associated administrative costs. The change is intended to let these officials recover reasonable expenses incurred while performing their duties.
