SB1067

Michigan SB1067 revises mortuary science regulations, including death certification and organ removal procedures.

Michigan SB1067 amends sections 2843 and 10205 of the public health code to revise mortuary science regulations. It specifies that medical certification of death must be completed within 48 hours by an attending physician or their representative, or by a county medical examiner or health officer if the death occurred outside an institution. The bill also mandates that individuals surgically removing human organs for transplantation must do so in approved facilities, such as hospitals or morgues. Violations of these provisions are subject to misdemeanor or felony penalties.
