New autopsy law restricts access to photos, recordings
On July 1st, a new autopsy records law will go into effect.
A new law restricts access to photographs, videos, audio recordings, made during an autopsy or made by a coroner or medical examiner at a crime scene.
House Bill 70 says a surviving relative such as a spouse, parent, or adult child may have access to the records, but others may not see, hear, or copy the records without direct supervision of the custodian of the records or his or her designee.
