	8	+	Citations Affected: IC 5-15; IC 36-2.
	9	+	Synopsis: Coroners. Provides that if a person dies under certain
	10	+	circumstances in a county that is not the county where the incident
	11	+	occurred resulting in the death, the county coroner where the death
	12	+	occurred may not bill the county where the incident occurred for the
	13	+	costs of the autopsy, unless the coroners of both counties agree as to the
	14	+	necessity of an autopsy. Provides the following: (1) Allows a coroner
	15	+	to determine the means of copying an original record of the coroner. (2)
	16	+	With the exception of a record concerning a death subject to a criminal
	17	+	investigation or proceeding, allows a coroner to destroy or transfer the
	18	+	original record at the time determined by the coroner after copying the
	19	+	record. Provides that a coroner is immune from criminal liability for
	20	+	destroying a public record if the coroner acts in accordance with the
	21	+	coroner's authority to copy and destroy the coroner's records. Removes
	22	+	a requirement that the county fix the compensation of a coroner who is
	23	+	a licensed physician at 1.5 times the compensation of a coroner who is
	24	+	not a licensed physician for coroners who are elected or reelected in the
	25	+	2024 general election and thereafter.
