OK SB618

Requires persons arrested for felony offenses or certain misdemeanors (assault and battery, domestic abuse, stalking, drug possession, etc.) to submit DNA samples at their initial court appearance, expanding beyond the previous requirement of only convicted individuals

Establishes 19 formal definitions for DNA-related terms including "biological sample," "CODIS," "DNA profile," and "specimen ID number" to clarify the Combined DNA Index System database operations

Creates tiered penalties for unauthorized disclosure of DNA information: misdemeanor with up to 1 year jail and $5,000 fine for general violations; up to $100,000 fine for knowing violations; and triple financial gains or $100,000 (whichever is greater) for violations motivated by financial gain

Makes database software and structures confidential and exempt from public disclosure to maintain computer system security, while specifying permissible disclosures for criminal defense, judicial proceedings, and law enforcement investigations

Prohibits electronic connection between CODIS and the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and clarifies that failure to comply with DNA collection provisions shall not invalidate arrests, pleas, or convictions
