This bill changes the rules around training requirements for deputy coroners in Kentucky. It would allow a state official to grant extensions for deputy coroners who need more time to complete required training, and sets out what happens if they still do not finish within that extended period. It also removes existing rules about reinstatement and pay changes for deputy coroners who fail to complete training. Who it may affect: deputy coroners and the county officials who oversee them.
