S 2042 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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 children under 13 to provide a DNA sample at the time of arrest. It directly affects people charged with felonies listed in the penal law involving victims under 13 years old. Key provisions mandate DNA collection upon arrest (unless previously submitted), allow courts to order collection if refused, and establish procedures for expunging DNA records if convictions are overturned or charges dismissed. The law also creates safeguards for removing DNA profiles from the state index when legally appropriate.
