What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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. DOJ must then 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.
