House Bill 155, sponsored by Wright, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 68-3-511(4)(B), regarding the requirements for signing a death certificate. The bill replaces the existing language with a new provision that stipulates the attending physician must agree in writing to sign the death certificate. Additionally, it specifies that this written agreement must be present with the deceased at the place of death.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that the attending physician's agreement is documented and readily available at the time of death. This change aims to clarify the process and responsibilities surrounding the signing of death certificates in Tennessee.
