  • Expands mandatory DNA collection to individuals age 17+ arrested for any felony offense or second-degree burglary, removing the previous limitation to only specific violent crime chapters (565, 566, 567, 568, 573) and first-degree burglary

  • Requires DNA samples from anyone found guilty of any offense under chapter 566 (sexual offenses), sexually violent predators, and registered sex offenders
