Requires 30 hours of mandatory continuing education every three years for coroners and coroner's deputies.

The bill requires coroners and coroner's deputies in New York to complete 30 hours of continuing education every three years. This education is intended to keep them updated on the latest practices and knowledge in their field. The goal is to ensure that they are well-prepared to handle their responsibilities effectively.

Supporters of the bill argue that mandatory continuing education will enhance the skills and knowledge of coroners and their deputies, ultimately leading to better public service. They believe that staying current with advancements in forensic science and legal standards is crucial for the integrity of the profession and public safety.

Critics may argue that imposing mandatory continuing education requirements could create unnecessary burdens on coroners and deputies, particularly in rural areas where resources are limited. They might contend that the bill could lead to increased costs for training and compliance, diverting funds from other essential services.
