A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to increase the fee paid to local medical examiners for each investigation conducted.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 130A‑387 reads as rewritten:
"§ 130A‑387.  Fees.
For each investigation and prompt filing of the required report, the medical examiner shall receive a fee paid by the State. However, if the deceased is a resident of the county in which the death or fatal injury occurred, that county shall pay the fee. The fee shall be  one hundred dollars ($100.00)."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to deaths investigated on or after that date.
