What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, any time a person is convicted for a crime and a sentence

is imposed or the person is placed on probation, the court must order the person to

submit a DNA sample and the person is charged $250 for each felony conviction and

$200 for each misdemeanor conviction. Under this bill, a person is required to submit

a sample and is charged the corresponding fee only the first time a person is

sentenced or placed on probation for a misdemeanor or for a felony.
