SB 754 -This act modifies provisions relating to the DNA profiling system. This act requires juveniles adjudicated of offenses which would constitute a felony under Chapter 565, RSMO, or any sexual offense under Chapter 566, RSMo, if committed by an adult, to have a biological sample collected for the purposes of DNA profiling analysis. This act would also require persons who have committed a Class A misdemeanor to have the same sample collected. Any person required to provide a DNA sample shall be required to provide such sample at a collection site. Currently such site shall be designated by the highway patrol or the department of corrections. This act allows such site to also be designated by the law enforcement agency of the county or the City of St. Louis, where the finding or plea of guilt occurred. Any knowing refusal or failure to provide a DNA sample is a Class A misdemeanor. Knowingly unauthorized tampering, knowing attempt to tamper with, or other knowingly unauthorized use, knowing attempt to use, or knowing dissemination of DNA samples is a Class A misdemeanor. This act is identical to SB 553 (2007). SUSAN HENDERSON MOORE
