HB 1893 - DIGEST

     Provides that a coroner or medical examiner is forbidden from performing an autopsy on a minor child when a parent or legal guardian of the child requests the coroner or medical examiner to stay the autopsy for a reasonable period of time in order to allow the parent or legal guardian time to seek a court order to permanently stay the autopsy.  An autopsy may be performed immediately upon the court's refusal to issue such an order.
