Bill > A01877

This bill aims to establish a single computerized state DNA identification index within the Division of Criminal Justice Services, prohibiting counties, cities, towns, villages, or municipalities from establishing or maintaining their own DNA identification indexes. It also requires designated offenders to provide DNA samples for inclusion in the state index and lays out procedures for expunging DNA records in cases of reversed or vacated convictions, pardons, or lack of criminal charges. The bill also mandates that any DNA records stored in municipal DNA indexes must be expunged within 90 days of the bill's effective date.
