The bill amends Section 13952 of Title 16 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which pertains to the fees charged by coroners for various reports. The amendment introduces a new structure for fees, specifying that the coroner will charge $500 for an autopsy report, $100 for a toxicology report, $100 for an inquisition or coroner's report, and $50 for cremation or disposition authorization. Additionally, it allows for other fees to be established for reports requested by nongovernmental agencies related to insurance claims or liability determinations.

Furthermore, the bill creates a new subsection that reduces fees for the next-of-kin and guardians of the deceased, allowing them to be charged no more than $100 for an autopsy report, $50 for a toxicology report, and $50 for an inquisition or coroner's report. It also mandates that all fees collected be accounted for and paid to the county treasurer, with the funds designated to cover expenses related to the training of coroners or coroner office personnel. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
