CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
HCS/SB 204 - Under current law, every individual who is 17 years old or older and is arrested for burglary, sex-related felonies, and certain felonies committed against a person must provide a biological sample for DNA profiling analysis.
This act requires every individual who is 17 years old or older who is indicted, or charged by information in circuit court for any felony offense to provide a biological sample for DNA profiling.
This act repeals the provision that the court shall notify the Highway Patrol crime laboratory if it finds at preliminary hearing that there is no probable cause that the defendant committed the offense.
This act is similar to a provision of SS#2/SCS/HCS/HBs 302 & 228 (2017), a provision of SCS/HCB 1 (2017), HB 1115 (2017), SB 729 (2016), SB 76 (2015), and SB 879 (2014).
