Death Record Certification Modernization (Public Act 3 of 2026)
Signed into law as Public Act 3 of 2026, HB 4077 moves medical certification of death records onto MDHHS's secure web-based Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS) and phases out routine paper certification, with the electronic requirement effective on or before March 16, 2027. For funeral homes it means faster, more accurate death certificates and an end to routine paper certification. Sponsored by Rep. Julie Rogers (D-Kalamazoo); the House passed it 106-2 and the Senate 36-0.
