SOURCE: GC § 5005.1 added by P.L. 12-115:2 (Mar. 28, 1974). Amended by P.L. 28-045:5 (June 6, 2005), effective Oct. 1, 2005 in accordance with P.L.28-045:23.

COMMENT: The original language in the first paragraph referred to Chapter III of Title X of the Government Code. However, these sections were repealed by P.L. 7-101 in 1964 and therefore the reference in this section to those laws has been eliminated. Also, the original reference was probably a misprint, as the referenced sections dealt with the Chief Medical Examiner and not the BBMR.
