Bill > SB0429

This bill amends section 6 of the 1990 Michigan law (PA 250) that established a DNA identification profiling system. The key provisions are: 1. It permanently retains DNA profiles of individuals arrested for or convicted of certain felonies and some misdemeanors, with exceptions if the law enforcement agency already has a sample or if the charges are dismissed/result in acquittal. 2. It requires individuals convicted of the listed offenses to pay a $60 assessment, except for juveniles and their guardians. 3. It outlines procedures for collecting, retaining, and disposing of DNA samples and profiles, including allowing for disposal in certain circumstances. 4. It provides that errors in good faith in DNA sample collection or profile retention do not invalidate identification, warrants, or convictions. 5. It ties the enactment of this bill to the passage of three other related bills (SB 428, HB 4636, and HB 4637).
