AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 AND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF DEATH.

The Act authorizes licensed Physician Assistants (PA) in Delaware to pronounce death and to complete a medical certification of death. This Act also removes registered nurses from the list of practitioners who may complete a medical certification of death, as it conflicts with the scope of practice set out in Title 24. This Act also makes technical changes to conform to the Legislative Drafting Manual.
