New Jersey S2099 allows EMTs, paramedics, and county medical examiner's office investigators to determine and pronounce death in specific.

New Jersey S2099 amends existing law to allow emergency medical technicians, mobile intensive care paramedics, and investigators for the county medical examiner's office to determine and pronounce death under certain conditions. This applies to deaths occurring at home, at accident scenes, or during disasters when no physician or registered professional nurse is present. The bill also specifies that these professionals can make such determinations if the deceased shows signs of death like decapitation or rigor mortis.
