Permits the spouse or first-degree relatives of the deceased to appeal medical examiner findings to district court within two years by petition for judicial review, with the burden of proof on the petitioner to show error by preponderance of evidence.

Requires the district court to conduct an evidentiary hearing and, if findings are erroneous, order the Chief Medical Examiner to correct the report and transmit corrected paperwork to the State Department of Health.

Allows appeals of medical examiner reports made before November 1, 2011, to be filed under the same procedures, but such appeals must be filed no later than November 1, 2013; effective November 1, 2011.
