Bill > S1587

This bill aims to expand the state DNA database by requiring more individuals to submit DNA samples. Specifically, it mandates that anyone convicted of an offense punishable by imprisonment in state prison, as well as anyone arrested and arraigned for certain offenses, must provide a DNA sample to the department within 6 months of their conviction, adjudication, or arrest. The bill also outlines the procedures for collecting and storing these DNA samples, and establishes penalties for individuals who fail to provide a sample as required. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the destruction of DNA samples and records in certain circumstances, such as if the charges are downgraded or dismissed.
