Currently, only counties with 60,000 or more people can appoint their coroner instead of electing one; this bill allows **all counties** to choose appointment by county commissioners instead of holding an election. Counties that want to switch to an appointed coroner must pass a resolution by April 1st before the scheduled coroner election, and the change doesn't take effect until any currently elected coroner's term ends.
