Requires feasibility study to examine establishment of regional medical examiner office facility in Southern New Jersey and collaborative development of new medical examiner education initiatives; appropriates $40,000.

This bill requires a feasibility study to examine creating a regional medical examiner office in Southern New Jersey, including assessing facility needs, staffing, costs, and options for morgue operations. It also mandates collaboration with Southern New Jersey medical schools to develop forensic education programs, fellowships, and new courses for medical students and law enforcement. The study will evaluate whether a centralized facility would improve operations, including costs for equipment like CT scanners, and propose potential policy changes. The bill appropriates $40,000 from the General Fund to fund the study, which must be completed and reported to the Governor and Legislature.
