  • Creates a "DNA Profiling Analysis Fund" in the state treasury, administered by the Department of Public Safety, funded by court surcharges collected in criminal cases ($30 for felonies, $60 for class A/B felonies, $15 for other criminal cases).

  • Modifies DNA collection requirements to apply when individuals are "found guilty" rather than "plead guilty or nolo contendere or is convicted," and expands collection to persons arrested for certain burglaries who are 17 or older.

  • Designates the Missouri State Highway Patrol crime lab as the entity responsible for DNA profiling analysis and database management, with moneys deposited into the DNA Profiling Analysis Fund used solely for these purposes.

  • Establishes expungement procedures allowing individuals to request removal of DNA samples and profiles if convictions are reversed or guilty pleas are set aside, with the crime lab required to notify individuals within 30 days of expungement.

  • Extends the expiration date of surcharge collection provisions from August 28, 2013 to August 28, 2019.
