AZ HB2102

Expands DNA collection to include persons arrested for any felony offense and specific misdemeanors (sections 13-1402, 13-1403, 13-3214, 13-3555), requiring samples within 30 days of arrest or court appearance.

Requires law enforcement and courts to provide oral and written notice to individuals submitting DNA samples explaining the expungement process and posting eligibility criteria on agency websites.

Allows DNA profiles to be expunged if criminal charges are not filed within the applicable statute of limitations, charges are dismissed, or the person is acquitted at trial, unless they have other qualifying convictions.

Mandates judicial officers to order DNA testing as a condition of release for persons charged with felonies or qualifying misdemeanors, with failure to comply resulting in revocation of release.

Appropriates $1,100,000 from the state general fund in fiscal year 2022-2023 to the Department of Public Safety for DNA testing, with the appropriation exempt from lapsing provisions.
