Relating to the authorized release and confidentiality of an autopsy report.
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 4295 would allow a medical examiner to release a copy of an autopsy report of a deceased person to any recognized organ and tissue procurement organization that treated the deceased person before death or procured any anatomical gift from the body of the deceased person. Such a report would be considered confidential and not subject to disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act.
Texas Action is neutral toward HB 4295.
