AI Summary
This bill expands the state DNA database by requiring DNA samples to be collected from individuals arrested for certain offenses, in addition to those convicted of crimes punishable by imprisonment. It also increases the penalties for failing to provide a DNA sample as required. The bill establishes a process for destroying DNA samples and records when charges are downgraded, the individual is acquitted, or the charges are dismissed, unless there is good cause to retain the sample. The court and probation department will work with the director to implement these changes.
