IMPORTANT NEWS!!
The WCMEA Legislative Committee is working hard to share the
information contained in the proposed 979 legislation. The
legislation is important to every Coroner and Medical Examiner
office in the state. Wisconsin is one of only five states
that does not require C/ME training. This bill as
proposed allows for funded training for all death investigators in
Wisconsin. The bill also cleans up antiquated language in
state statute 979.
This is an important bill!!
