7(8) of the statutes; relating to: requiring a person arrested for or charged with
8certain offenses, or a juvenile taken into custody for certain offenses, to provide
9a biological specimen for deoxyribonucleic acid analysis; inclusion of the
10analysis results in the deoxyribonucleic acid data bank; requiring the exercise
11of rule-making authority; and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain persons are required to submit biological specimens
to the crime laboratories for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis. These persons
include: a juvenile who has been adjudicated delinquent for certain offenses; a
person who is or was in prison for a felony or found guilty of a felony; a person who

was found guilty of fourth-degree sexual assault, lewd and lascivious behavior, or
exposing genitals to a child for sexual gratification; a person who has been found not
guilty by reason of mental disease or defect for certain sexual assaults; a person who
has been found to be a sexually violent person; and a person who is required by a court
to provide a biological specimen.
This bill requires law enforcement agencies to collect a biological specimen for
DNA analysis from every adult who is arrested for a felony or for fourth-degree
sexual assault, lewd and lascivious behavior, failure to submit a required biological
specimen, or exposing genitals to a child for sexual gratification and from each
juvenile taken into custody for certain sexual assault offenses. The bill requires the
law enforcement agency to submit the specimen to the crime laboratories for DNA
analysis and inclusion of the adult's or minor's DNA profile in the data bank. The
bill provides that the crime laboratories must, at the person's request, expunge
information about a person who was required to submit a biological specimen in
connection only with an arrest if the person is not charged with a crime within one
year of the arrest or, if the person is a juvenile, a delinquency petition is not filed;
criminal charges are dismissed; or the person is found not guilty of the crime.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
