Provides that people arrested in connection with felonies relating to sex offenses where the victim is less than 13 years old must submit a DNA sample
This bill requires individuals arrested for specific sex offenses against victims under 13 years old to provide a DNA sample at the time of arrest. It directly affects people charged with felonies listed in New York's penal law involving child sexual abuse. The law mandates DNA collection unless the person already has a sample in the state DNA database, and includes procedures for courts to order sample collection if refused. It also establishes safeguards to expunge DNA records if charges are dismissed, convictions are overturned, or the case results in a non-DNA-collecting outcome.
