DESCRIPTION

Section 58.700, RSMo, provides for medical examiners in certain second
classification counties and all first classification counties.  There is an
option for certain first classification counties with an elected coroner to
retain the coroner or to appoint a medical examiner.

This act extends the coroner/medical examiner option to Cape Girardeau
County.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
