A 734 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to reimbursement for coroner and medical examiner fees from the county where the decedent resided

This bill requires counties that provide coroner or medical examiner services (like autopsies or death investigations) to seek reimbursement from the county where the deceased person lived, rather than the county where the death occurred. It directly affects local governments by changing how costs for these services are paid between counties. The key provision adds a new law section stating that the county with jurisdiction over the death must bill the decedent's home county for fees and services. This policy change simplifies billing by aligning reimbursement with the decedent's residence, not the location of death.
