What’s in it

AI summary Medical examiners will now use a new form when investigating the deaths of infants and toddlers up to three years old. This form must ask for information about when the child last received shots and exactly which ones they got. The department of health and human services is responsible for making these changes to the form.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill requires that a medical examiner investigation form for infants zero to three years of age shall include a request for information regarding the date and type of the decedent’s last immunization. If the decedent received more than one immunization at the time of the last immunization, the information provided shall include all types of immunizations received. The bill requires the department of health and human services to amend the medical examiner investigation form for infants zero to three years of age to comply with the bill.
