HB 1757 - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

     Finds it necessary to expand the current pool of convicted offenders who must have a blood sample drawn for purposes of DNA identification analysis.

     Finds that there is a high rate of recidivism among certain types of violent and sex offenders and that drawing blood is minimally intrusive.  Creating an expanded DNA data bank bears a rational relationship to the public's interest in enabling law enforcement to better identify convicted violent and sex offenders who are involved in unsolved crimes, who escape to reoffend, and who reoffend after release.

     Applies to all adults who are convicted after July 1, 1990; and to all adults who were convicted on or prior to July 1, 1990, and who are still incarcerated on or after the effective date of this act.

     Applies to all juveniles who are adjudicated guilty after July 1, 1994; and to all juveniles who were adjudicated guilty on or prior to July 1, 1994, and who are still incarcerated on or after the effective date of this act.
