Lawmakers send DNA testing bill to governor
Kansas lawmakers approve a bill requiring DNA samples from those arrested on felony charges and those charged with driving while intoxicated. The measure, passed 119 to 5 in the House and 29 to 11 in the Senate, heads to Governor Sebelius for signature. Samples collected by mouth swab would be analyzed by the KBI, with exceptions for dismissed charges or expungements. The program could add about 12,000 samples annually, expanding from current felon-only DNA requirements. The plan takes effect January 2007 with juveniles and violent felonies initially, then full felony coverage from July 2008.
