Public will maintain access to autopsy reports, top lawmaker says

Proposed changes to House Bill 250 last month called for eliminating public access to autopsy reports. Sen. Danny Britt hopes to revisit the issue in the future.

North Carolina lawmakers won’t go forward with a plan to eliminate public access to autopsy reports.

The bill was heading to a vote on Tuesday, but a top lawmaker now says the measure won’t include public records law changes added to the bill last month.
