Fulton County will reimburse coroner mileage from home to scene starting April 1

Fulton County commissioners on March 17 approved reimbursing the County Coroner and Deputy Coroner for mileage when they are on call and travel from home to the scene, with the policy change effective April 1, 2026.

The motion cites statutory authority recorded in the minutes as 16 P.S. § 12314 (listed in the minutes as "16 P.S. $ 12314, Pennsylvania County Code"). The motion was moved by Commissioner Randy H. Bunch and recorded as passing "all in favor." The minutes do not specify the reimbursement rate, whether the mileage will be paid from a specific fund or line item, or whether this applies retroactively to prior calls.

County staff or the commissioners did not provide further procedural details in the minutes; follow‑up from the County Treasurer's office would normally clarify reimbursement rates and accounting treatment.
