Requirements modification relating to the provision of cause of death information
This bill modifies Minnesota's requirements for providing cause of death information when a medical examiner or coroner declines jurisdiction over a natural death. It specifies that physicians present at death, those who provided medical treatment before death, or those with direct knowledge and access to medical records must provide the information. If no such physician exists, another physician has 72 hours to provide it after notification. If a physician refuses, the medical examiner or coroner may provide the information and recover costs from the refusing physician or their employer.
