Abstract
More than 150 physicians potentially are in hot water with the Texas Medical Board (TMB) over a 2007 law requiring them to file death certificates electronically. House Bill 1739 took effect Sept. 1, 2007. All physicians who sign death certificates had to register in the Texas Electronic Registrar Death Registration system, maintained by the Department of State Health Services Vital Statistics Unit, by Sept. 1, 2008, and begin completing death certificates electronically.
