Clarifying when DNA records may be used

HB 2612 clarifies that DNA records collected from individuals convicted under West Virginia law may be used to establish paternity in pending child abuse and neglect cases when a Circuit Court issues an order. The bill explicitly adds this specific use case to the list of permitted purposes for sharing DNA data, which already included law enforcement identification and research. This change directly affects child welfare courts and families involved in abuse/neglect proceedings by enabling faster paternity resolution. It does not alter existing uses of DNA records for criminal investigations or other purposes.
