HB 314 would provide that any person placed on probation after July 1, 2007, would be required to submit a DNA sample to determine identification characteristics specific to that person.  The Division of Forensic Sciences of the GBI would be permitted to contract for the services and would store and maintain the information in a DA data bank, and the Department of Corrections would be responsible for collecting the sample.  This Code section would apply to several crimes which are listed in the bill.

This bill received a Do Pass recommendation from the Judiciary Non Civil Committee and comes to the House Floor under the Open Rule.
