HB 1111 - DIGEST
(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

Provides that this act may be known and cited as Jennifer and Michella's law.

Finds that: (1) The state has routinely required collection of DNA biological samples from certain convicted offenders and persons required to register as sex and kidnapping offenders; and

(2) Procedural improvements and measured expansions to the collection and analysis of lawfully obtained DNA biological samples are both appropriate and necessary to solve cold cases and unsolved crimes, provide closure to victims and family members, and support efforts to exonerate the wrongly accused or convicted.
