Death Certificate Filing Deadline Exception

Summary

The bill requires funeral directors to file death certificates electronically within five days of receiving a burial permit or taking custody of the body, unless they cannot obtain the decedent’s personal data despite good‑faith efforts. In such cases the director must promptly inform the Bureau of Vital Statistics. It also creates escalating fines for physicians and funeral directors who miss filing or certification deadlines.
