A 4014 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to mandatory continuing education requirements for coroners and coroner's deputies

This bill requires all elected or appointed coroners and coroner's deputies in New York to complete 30 hours of state-approved medical-legal investigation training every three years. It applies directly to these county officials, who must cover the training costs themselves (though counties may choose to reimburse them). The law includes a one-year exemption for newly elected or appointed officials and mandates that non-compliant individuals cannot practice until they meet requirements. The Department of Health will oversee certification, and the New York State Association of County Coroners will track compliance.
