What’s in it
AI summary Counties would have to pay funeral directors back for the costs of moving a body after an investigation or autopsy is finished. This rule applies even if the state does not provide extra money to cover those expenses.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the costs associated with transporting a dead body. The bill requires a county to reimburse a funeral director for all costs associated with the transportation of a body after an investigation or autopsy has been completed. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill.
