Coroners in Alabama are advocating for inclusion in Senate Bill two ninety-three, which currently safeguards first responders like police, firefighters, and EMTs. Led by Morgan County Coroner Jeffrey Chunn, they argue for recognition of their unique risks and challenges, such as dealing with distressed families and emotional trauma from various death scenes. Despite meetings with lawmakers, they face resistance, particularly from bill sponsor April Weaver. They seek mental health support and injury protections currently afforded to other first responders.
