What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires notification of the sheriff, police chief, or medical examiner or coroner of certain deaths, such as deaths in which there are unexplained, unusual, or suspicious circumstances; homicides or suicides; deaths that follow an accident or that are due to poisoning; or deaths for which there was no physician in attendance within 30 days preceding the death. In such deaths, the coroner or medical examiner must take any specimens or other material to help determine the cause of death upon request of a family member of the deceased person.
Under this bill, following such a death, the coroner or medical examiner must, unless a family member objects, submit a biological specimen to the state crime laboratories in the Department of Justice for analysis and inclusion in its data bank.
