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 and

allegations for which a person was required to provide a biological sample to the

Department of Justice 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.
