Introduced

SB 975 - This act requires all participants in the death certification and registration process, including the state registrar, local registrars, health departments, medical examiners, coroners, or funeral directors to use an electronic death registration system within 24 months of the system being certified by the Department of Health and Senior Services to be operational and available through high-speed internet access to all participants in the death registration process.

The State Registrar may adopt pilot programs or voluntary electronic death registration programs until such time as the system can be certified. However, no such pilot or voluntary program shall prevent the filing of a death certificate with the local registrar or the ability to obtain certified copies of death certificates under current law.
