November 20, 2015 - Introduced by Senators L. Taylor and Harris Dodd,
cosponsored by Representatives Knudson, Berceau and Goyke. Referred to
Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety.
SB398,1,3 1An Act to repeal 165.77 (4) (am) 2. b. and 165.77 (4) (am) 3. b.; and to create
2165.77 (4) (cm) of the statutes; relating to: expungement of deoxyribonucleic
3acid from crime laboratories if person not adjudicated guilty or delinquent.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, if a court reaches final disposition for all charges or allegations
for which a person was required to provide a biological sample to the Department of
Justice (DOJ) for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis and the person is not found
guilty or delinquent on any such charge or allegation, the court must inform DOJ.
Then DOJ must purge all DNA records and information, and destroy all biological
samples, pertaining to that person. Current law requires such a person to request
DOJ to purge all records and information and destroy all such samples and for DOJ
to verify that final disposition was reached on all charges and allegations without a
guilty or delinquent verdict before fulfilling the request.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
