Senate Bill 1346 Summary

• Expands DNA sample collection requirement from individuals arrested for "violent felonies" to all individuals arrested for committing or attempting to commit any felony offense.

• Requires DNA samples from persons found responsible for or convicted of specific crimes including sexual offenses (sections 520b-520g), prostitution-related offenses, indecent exposure, and disorderly conduct violations.

• Mandates courts impose a $60.00 DNA assessment fee on each person convicted of or found responsible for listed crimes, with collections distributed to law enforcement agencies (25%), state police forensic division (65%), and court costs (10%).
