ID S1088

Registered sex offenders are now explicitly required to submit DNA samples along with right thumbprint impressions to the Idaho State Police, consistent with requirements for those convicted of felonies.

Collection facilities are not required to collect a DNA sample if they can verify that a sample already exists for the individual in the Idaho DNA database, preventing duplicate collection.

Sex offender registration locations must verify that an individual's DNA sample has been collected in Idaho before processing registration.

Courts may order offenders to pay restitution for DNA analysis costs up to $500 per sample analysis or $2,000 in aggregate, with exceptions for cases where samples came from victims or other persons of interest.

DNA collection requirements apply to all qualifying offenders including juveniles tried as adults, regardless of whether they were convicted before or after the law's effective date, and apply to those incarcerated, on probation or parole, or required to register as sex offenders.
