House Bill 155 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 mandates the attending physician to 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 proper documentation and agreement from the attending physician at the time of death. This change aims to streamline the process and clarify the responsibilities of medical professionals in the certification of death.
