Office of County Coroner Eliminated After 104 Years
Kansas voters will see the county coroner office on the ballot disappear as the 1963 Legislature replaces it with the appointive district coroner system. Each of 38 judicial districts will have a district coroner licensed by the State Board of Healing Arts, chosen from two or more nominations by the local medical society with district judge approval. Some coroners may appoint deputy coroners with identical qualifications and duties. The reform aims to fix perceived failures under the old elective system. Fourteen new district coroners will serve single county districts.
