163.1. The Government shall establish, by regulation, the procedure for renewing a coroner’s term.

The regulation may, in particular,

(1)  authorize the establishment of examination committees and determine their composition and the mode of appointment of committee members;

(2)  determine the criteria to be taken into account by a committee; and

(3)  determine the information a committee may require from a coroner and the consultations it may hold.

An examination committee may not make a recommendation against renewing a coroner’s term without first informing the office holder of its intention to do so and of the reasons for its recommendation, and without giving the office holder an opportunity to make representations.
