6eliminating the collection of deoxyribonucleic acid at arrest.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain individuals are required to submit biological
specimens to the crime laboratories in the Department of Justice (DOJ) for
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis. These individuals include a juvenile who has
been adjudicated delinquent for certain offenses and an individual who has been
found guilty of a felony, fourth-degree sexual assault, lewd and lascivious behavior,
or exposing genitals to a child for sexual gratification. In addition, beginning on
April 1, 2015, law enforcement agencies must obtain a biological specimen from each
individual arrested for a felony or taken into custody for a juvenile offense that would
be a felony if committed by an adult. The law enforcement agency must submit the
specimen to the crime laboratories if the individual was arrested or taken into
custody under a warrant, the court finds probable cause that the individual
committed the offense, or the individual fails to appear at the initial appearance,
preliminary examination, or delinquency proceeding, whichever is appropriate;

otherwise, the law enforcement agency must destroy the specimen within one year
of obtaining it.
This bill eliminates the requirement beginning on April 1, 2015, that law
enforcement agencies obtain a biological specimen from each individual arrested for
a felony or taken into custody for a juvenile offense that would be a felony if
committed by an adult.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
