HB 54 -- DNA Profiling System

Co-Sponsors:  Jolly, Moore, Sanders Brooks, Skaggs, Marsh,
LeVota, Burnett, Sager, Bishop, Walker

Currently, individuals who are convicted in Missouri of a violent
felony offense or of a sex offense are required to submit a
biological sample for DNA analysis.  This bill requires
individuals convicted of any felony offense to submit a sample
for DNA analysis and adds individuals who plead guilty and nolo
contendere to the list of those required to submit a sample.

The bill also makes DNA records closed records under the Sunshine
Law.  It allows the records to be released to listed individuals
and specifies purposes for which the records can be used.
