Funding rural county coroners and medical examiners in Washington for six fiscal years.

The bill provides funding for rural counties in Washington to cover the costs of coroners and medical examiners for six fiscal years, starting in 2025. It allows counties with populations under 40,000 to appoint coroners instead of electing them and permits larger counties to replace coroners with medical examiners. The funding aims to help rural counties manage the additional costs associated with these changes.
