Minnesota SF4437 modifies fees recoverable by coroners or medical examiners for cremation approval, report duplication, and administrative functions.

Minnesota SF4437 amends the state statutes to allow coroners or medical examiners to charge fees for cremation approval, duplication of reports, and other administrative functions to recover reasonable expenses, subject to county board approval. The bill also permits these officials to charge fees to cover reasonable expenses for conducting a medical record review when an individual, facility, or organization refuses to act as the medical certifier and complete a death record. This change aims to ensure that coroners and medical examiners can recover costs associated with their duties.
