SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill.
This amendment adds a new section to provide a discretionary appeal opportunity for the State when the court grants a motion to order DNA analysis. Currently, the State has no right to appeal that decision.
This amendment replaces the language in the bill to clarify that both the State and an aggrieved person have an appeal as a matter of right from a court decision to grant or deny a new trial based on the DNA analysis results.
