AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the existing law regarding the DNA database in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1) Individuals convicted of a crime must provide a DNA sample immediately upon conviction, rather than within one year of conviction or before release from custody. 2) Individuals who fail to provide a required DNA sample can be subject to arrest and face a fine of up to $1,000 or up to 6 months in jail, or both. These changes are intended to ensure timely collection of DNA samples and enforce compliance with the DNA database requirements.
