SB 358 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: fees charged for certain coroner or medical examiner services. (FE)

SB 358 allows Wisconsin coroner or medical examiner offices to temporarily increase fees for two specific services: signing death certificates and issuing cremation permits. The bill permits a one-time fee increase of up to $100 above the April 17, 2015, rate for each service, without needing to account for inflation changes. This adjustment applies only to boards transitioning to physician medical examiner services under intergovernmental agreements. The policy directly affects public users paying these fees and the offices administering them.
