Procedures and training modification related to the treatment of potentially suspicious deaths involving domestic violence

Summary

The bill adds definitions and duties for coroners, medical examiners, and law‑enforcement agencies when a death could be linked to domestic violence. It requires training, family‑member access to records, and a review of who was the primary aggressor in intimate‑partner cases. The goal is to prevent staged suicides or accidents from being misclassified when domestic abuse may be involved.
