Senate Bill No. 312 Summary

• Requires all persons arrested after June 30, 2010, for burglary, residential entry, crimes of violence, or sex offenses to submit a DNA sample to law enforcement agencies.

• Expands DNA database inclusion to arrested individuals (previously only convicted offenders) and allows DNA samples to be collected from persons released on bond or in community corrections programs.

• Establishes expungement procedures for DNA profiles when persons are acquitted of all charges, convicted charges are reversed and dismissed, or cases are dismissed.

• Increases the DNA sample processing fee from $2 to $4 per action where a person is convicted, required to pay pretrial diversion fees, or found to have committed infractions or ordinance violations.

• Requires courts to mandate DNA sample submission as a condition of probation, home detention, or community corrections placement for eligible individuals who have not previously provided samples.
