What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, if a court reaches final disposition for all charges or allegations

for which a person was required to provide a biological sample to the Department of

Justice (DOJ) for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis and the person is not found

guilty or delinquent on any such charge or allegation, the court must inform DOJ.

Then DOJ must purge all DNA records and information, and destroy all biological

samples, pertaining to that person. Current law requires such a person to request

DOJ to purge all records and information and destroy all such samples and for DOJ

to verify that final disposition was reached on all charges and allegations without a

guilty or delinquent verdict before fulfilling the request.
