Mississippi HB1283 requires autopsies for sudden, unexpected deaths to include a review of the deceased's immunization and medical records.

For individuals suspected of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, the autopsy must include microscopic and toxicology studies and a review of their immunization and medical records.
