Arizona SB1796 establishes a statewide DNA match tracking system for unsolved cases, managed by the Department of Public Safety.

Arizona SB1796 mandates the Department of Public Safety to create and maintain a statewide DNA match tracking system. This system will match DNA samples to unsolved cases, automatically route notifications to relevant law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies, and record actions taken by these agencies. The system must be fully electronic and cloud-based, and it will not be admissible in criminal proceedings. Law enforcement agencies submitting DNA evidence to accredited crime labs must participate.
