Illinois HB5580 mandates the Illinois State Police to implement an Electronic Laboratory Information Management System for tracking forensic evidence.
Illinois HB5580 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to require the Illinois State Police to implement an Electronic Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). This system must efficiently track all evidence submitted for forensic testing, recording details such as the criminal offense, the submitting law enforcement agency, and the date evidence was received. If a consistent DNA profile is identified, the Illinois State Police must notify the investigating law enforcement agency and provide a courtesy copy to the appropriate State's Attorney's Office.
