Vote Yes on this bill if you want coroners chosen for qualifications rather than politics, consistent training and standards statewide, potential cost savings, and the option for counties to share services.

Organizations that support this bill may include county governments, professional associations of coroners and medical examiners, good‑government and taxpayer advocacy groups, and public health and safety organizations.

Vote No on this bill if you want to keep coroners directly elected by voters, preserve local democratic control, and avoid shifting hiring power to county officials who could make patronage appointments.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include civil liberties and voting rights groups, election‑reform advocates who favor elected offices, labor associations representing coroners, and community organizations concerned about local control and patronage.
