MINOR

The bill was amended by the Fiscal Policy Committee to expand eligibility for the Expedited DNA Testing Grant Program. The most significant change is in the definition of 'private lab,' which now includes laboratories deemed appropriate by the department in addition to those accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards. This provides the department with flexibility to approve additional laboratories beyond strict accreditation requirements.
