Bill > S01347

This bill aims to establish a single computerized state DNA identification index under the Division of Criminal Justice Services, and requires municipalities to expunge any DNA records stored in their own local DNA identification indices. The bill prohibits counties, cities, towns, villages, or municipalities from establishing or maintaining their own separate DNA identification indices. It also outlines the procedures for expunging DNA records from the state index in cases of reversed or vacated convictions, as well as in situations where no criminal charges were ultimately filed. The purpose is to centralize the state's DNA identification system and ensure consistent policies around the collection, storage, and expungement of DNA records.
