The bill authorizes the Henry County Commission to provide additional support for the operation of the coroner's office. Specifically, it allows the commission to furnish the county coroner and deputy coroner with a vehicle for official duties, which must be regulated by the commission. The vehicle will be equipped with necessary equipment, such as a stretcher and a radio, and the county will cover expenses for fuel, oil, and repairs. Additionally, the commission may issue a gas card to the coroner and deputy coroner to facilitate fuel purchases related to their official duties.
Furthermore, the bill permits the Henry County Commission to reimburse the coroner and deputy coroner for expenses incurred while attending state-mandated training or continuing education. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. The new legal language includes provisions for vehicle support and reimbursement for training, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text.
