HB 825 amends §2-16-45 of the O.C.G.A. It allows the chief
medical examiner to inter unidentified human remains after the peace officer in
charge has exhausted all efforts to identify the remains. It also allows the
chief medical examiner to disinter remains when he/she determines that further
information can be obtained or further testing can be performed that may result
in the identification of the remains. |
