summary
This amendment is the majority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety and replaces the bill. The amendment requires a person who commits an offense that does not currently require the person to submit a DNA sample to submit a DNA sample if that person was convicted of an offense prior to January 1, 1996 that is an offense that would require submitting a DNA sample if committed on or after that date. A person who fails to submit a DNA sample after receiving notice from the Department of Public Safety, State Bureau of Identification commits a Class E crime.
