Bill information
Summary
To permit grant funds to be used to identify unidentified human remains without regard as to whether the manner of death is determined to be a homicide.
Plain-language summary
This bill allows grant money for identifying unidentified human remains to be used regardless of how the person died. Currently, grants may only fund identification work if the death is ruled a homicide. The bill removes that homicide-only restriction. It was introduced by Representatives Reschenthaler, Armstrong, and Gottheimer. The bill is currently in the early stage after introduction, likely awaiting review.
