Establishes a statewide automated DNA match tracking system in Hawaii for law enforcement agencies and prosecuting attorney's offices.

The bill mandates that all law enforcement agencies and prosecuting attorney's offices in Hawaii that submit DNA to a crime laboratory must participate in a statewide automated DNA match tracking system. This system will record, monitor, and report DNA match notifications from crime laboratories. Each receiving agency must designate a supervisory official to ensure timely updates and address overdue or incomplete follow-ups. The Honolulu police department is granted funding for the establishment of this system, which must be electronic, cloud-based, and compliant with privacy laws.
