Oklahoma SB1484 expands the types of deaths requiring investigation and mandates certain notices to parents or legal guardians.
Oklahoma SB1484 amends existing law to broaden the types of deaths that require investigation by the medical examiner. The bill mandates investigations for violent deaths, deaths in custody, and deaths that are medically unexpected. It also requires investigations for sudden unexplained infant deaths (SUID), sudden death in the young (SDY), and sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS). The medical examiner must document immunizations and emergency countermeasures administered within 90 days before the death.
