AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution directs the Indiana State Police to form a working group to study Rapid DNA technology, which allows for quick DNA profile generation from a mouth swab within two hours using automated instruments without human interpretation. The purpose of this study is to assess the costs, necessary staff and time resources, implementation timelines, and the technology infrastructure required to connect Rapid DNA instruments to state and national databases, like CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), a program maintained by the FBI for storing and comparing DNA profiles to solve crimes. The resolution emphasizes that implementing Rapid DNA could help solve unsolved crimes, improve justice, and provide closure to families, and requires the Indiana State Police to submit a report with their findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council by December 15, 2023. The working group will include representatives from various law enforcement, legal, and technology organizations within Indiana.
