MI HB4077

Modifies the process for medical certification of death records by specifying which physicians may complete certifications when a death occurs inside or outside an institution, including attending physicians, their authorized representatives, chief medical officers, or pathologists.

Requires medical certification of death records to be submitted through a state-established web-based application system beginning one year after the act's effective date, with mandatory training for individuals who complete certifications.

Mandates that physicians presented with a medical certification by a funeral director cannot neglect or refuse to certify the death record or furnish information in their possession.

Adds failure to comply with the new death certification requirements (Section 2843(5)) as grounds for disciplinary action against licensed health professionals.

Takes immediate effect upon enactment and amends sections of the Michigan Public Health Code (1978 PA 368) related to vital records and health profession regulation.
