Mandatory Autopsy Law
An Act Requiring Mandatory Autopsy on Bodies of Crime Victims, Deaths Under Mysterious and Suspicious Circumstances, and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The Mandatory Autopsy Law would require a forensic autopsy for many types of deaths—such as those from crimes, sudden unexplained causes, suspicious or violent circumstances, deaths in custody, and bodies that will be cremated or buried—without needing the family’s permission, and would keep the autopsy report confidential except by court order.
