Key provisions include: - Allowing the collection of DNA samples from individuals arrested for certain crimes, in addition to those convicted or adjudicated delinquent. - Authorizing the disclosure of DNA profiles that indicate a close familial relationship to a known offender in the state's DNA database. - Defining "criminal homicide" offenses that require DNA sample collection. - Providing a process for law enforcement agencies to request a "modified DNA search" to identify close relatives of individuals in the state's DNA database for unsolved cases. - Requiring the creation of a separate category in the state's DNA database for DNA samples collected upon arrest. - Expanding the instances where a person can request the expungement of their DNA sample and record from the database. - Imposing a mandatory $250 cost on individuals convicted, adjudicated delinquent, or granted accelerated rehabilitative disposition (ARD) for certain offenses.
