Missoula County supports SB 68, Revise laws related to coroner inquests for DOC facilities, up from hearing Friday morning in Senate Judiciary. It is difficult to find civilian coroners required to investigate jail deaths. There are only a few in the western part of the state. This bill would allow counties to use a coroner from another county who is a peace officer.
Senator Olsen,
