Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB2530 amends DNA data and testing laws to restrict expungement of DNA samples, records, or profiles under certain conditions.

Pennsylvania HB2530 amends Title 44 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further provide for the expungement of DNA samples, records, or profiles. It specifies that an incarcerated or previously incarcerated person cannot seek expungement if the DNA sample, record, or profile was included in the State DNA Data Bank or State DNA Data Base by mistake and the State Police erroneously refused the person's request for removal. Additionally, a person cannot seek expungement if the DNA sample, record, or profile was eligible for expungement but the court did not issue an order.
