AB212,1,4
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 the person is not found guilty or adjudicated
4delinquent.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, if a court reaches final disposition for all charges and
allegations for which a person was required to provide a biological sample to the
Department of Justice 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. DOJ must then 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.
