New York S07558 requires written consent from a minor's parent, legal guardian, or attorney for law enforcement to collect DNA from a minor before.

New York S07558 amends the executive law to mandate that law enforcement officers obtain written consent from a minor's parent, legal guardian, or attorney before collecting a DNA sample from a minor, except in specific circumstances. These exceptions include instances where the DNA sample is abandoned at the scene of an alleged criminal offense or when the minor is alleged to be the victim of a criminal offense. The law defines "DNA sample" as any bodily material from which deoxyribonucleic acid can be extracted and "minor" as a natural person under the age of eighteen.
