OK SB250

Creates the "Chanda Turner Reform Act" to amend Oklahoma's Chief Medical Examiner reporting requirements and procedures.

Requires the Chief Medical Examiner to furnish copies of medical examiner reports to the deceased's spouse or any person within one degree of consanguinity within five business days of request, once cause and manner of death are determined and death certificate issued.

Allows the spouse or close relatives of the deceased to appeal medical examiner findings to district court within two years by petition for judicial review; petitioner must prove by preponderance of evidence that the death certificate contains an error.

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

Permits appeals of medical examiner reports issued prior to November 1, 2011, to be filed no later than November 1, 2013, under the same appeal procedures; effective date is November 1, 2011.
