HB 2530 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in DNA data and testing, further providing for expungement.

HB 2530 updates Pennsylvania's DNA laws to allow for the automatic removal of DNA records from the State DNA Data Bank or Data Base in specific situations. The bill mandates that courts automatically expunge DNA profiles when a conviction is reversed with no pending appeals, when a person receives an unconditional pardon, or if the DNA was collected by mistake. However, the law excludes incarcerated individuals and those convicted of certain serious sex offenses or crimes committed before 1995 from using these automatic expungement provisions.
