Whitmer Signs Death Record Bills

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the third and fourth bills of the year into law Tuesday, legislation designed to simplify the process for medical certification of a death record. HB 4077 became PA 3 and HB 4078 became PA 4. Both were filed with immediate effect.

Michigan SERA supported these bills in committee hearings. The bills require doctors to use the digital process for signing a death certificate, thus speeding up the availability of a death certificate to settle the estate of a deceased person.
