MI HB6244

Amends the Sexual Assault Kit Evidence Submission Act to establish permissible and prohibited uses of sexual assault kit evidence and victim DNA profiles.

Prohibits retention or database upload of victim DNA profiles, and restricts use of victim DNA to distinguishing it from perpetrator DNA or establishing genetic familial relationships relevant to the sexual assault investigation.

Prohibits using victim DNA profiles as evidence against the victim or their genetic relatives in unrelated criminal investigations or prosecutions, including identification as suspects in other cases.

Prohibits screening victim DNA for genetic conditions or traits and prohibits law enforcement from requesting subsequent analysis of sexual assault kits to obtain victim genetic information for other investigations.

Clarifies that failure to comply with submission timelines (24 hours for health care facilities, 14 days for law enforcement) does not prevent later submission or DNA database uploads of perpetrator profiles, and does not provide grounds to exclude DNA evidence or challenge database matches in court.
