FINDING THAT "EXCITED DELIRIUM" AND "EXCITED DELIRIUM SYNDROME" ARE NOT MEDICAL DIAGNOSES RECOGNIZED BY ANY LEADING MEDICAL OR OTHER SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION AND REQUESTING ALL STATE AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT ENTITIES TO REFRAIN FROM INDICATING "EXCITED DELIRIUM" OR "EXCITED DELIRIUM SYNDROME" AS A CAUSE OF DEATH.

This bill asks state and county government agencies to stop using "excited delirium" or "excited delirium syndrome" as a cause of death on official records. It is based on the finding that these terms are not recognized as valid medical diagnoses by major medical organizations and lack consistent diagnostic criteria. The resolution requests that government entities only use scientifically proven diagnoses when documenting deaths, particularly those involving law enforcement interactions. This change aims to ensure that death certificates and incident reports reflect medically accepted causes rather than unofficial terminology.
