Requires individuals arrested in connection with a felony to submit a DNA sample.

New York law mandates that individuals arrested in connection with a felony must submit a DNA sample. This bill amends the executive law and criminal procedure law to require a DNA sample from felony arrestees unless they have already provided one. It also outlines procedures for the expungement of DNA records under certain conditions, such as a dismissal, acquittal, or pardon. The DNA sample must be taken by an appropriate officer or agency and sent to a forensic DNA laboratory for inclusion in the state DNA identification index.
