Require physicians to sign death certificates electronically

Summary

The bill amends Ohio law so that physicians must certify cause of death with an electronic signature using the state’s Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS). Local registrars will still receive printed copies for filing, but the official certification will be electronic. The change is intended to speed up processing and improve record accuracy.
