Bill > S3117

Introduced Session

This bill amends the "DNA Database and Databank Act of 1994" to require DNA samples to be collected when a person is arrested for human trafficking, arson, or car-jacking. Any person convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment for human trafficking, arson, car-jacking or for any attempt made to commit these crimes on or after January 1, 2023 will be required to have blood or another biological sample collected for DNA testing. Additionally, a person convicted on or after January 1, 2023 of human trafficking, arson, or car-jacking but who is not sentenced to a term of confinement will also be required to provide a blood or other biological sample for DNA testing purposes. A person who was convicted and imprisoned prior to January 1, 2023 will be required to provide a DNA sample before being paroled or released from prison. Lastly, a person arrested, but not convicted or imprisoned, for human trafficking, arson, or car-jacking will be required to provide a blood or other biological sample for DNA testing.
