MI HB6275

Adds new section 5b to establish procedures for autopsies when next of kin objects based on deceased person's religious beliefs.

Requires county medical examiners to perform virtual autopsies (using CT scans, MRI, X-rays, or 3D imaging) before any invasive procedures when religious objections are raised.

Allows invasive autopsy only upon court authorization within 24 hours if medical examiner demonstrates "compelling public necessity" (criminal investigation or immediate public health threat).

Specifies that transferring county reimburses receiving county for autopsy costs, except next of kin pay transport and autopsy costs for transfers between counties.

Virtual autopsy must be performed first; internal examination only if necessary and conducted in least intrusive manner possible.
