HB 1610 makes a nonsubstantive revision of several sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure, primarily focusing on the reorganization and clarification of provisions related to family violence, public health-related criminal offenses, and death inquests. It restructures statutes governing law enforcement responsibilities in family violence cases, reporting requirements for protective orders, and the handling of criminal activities injurious to public health, such as the sale of unwholesome food or adulterated medicine. The bill also updates procedural requirements for death inquests, outlining responsibilities for justices of the peace, medical examiners, and other officials in handling unidentified bodies, autopsies, and in-custody deaths.
