HB2102 requires the collection of DNA from a person that is arrested for any felony offense, rather than a person convicted of a felony offense or arrested for a specific felony offense.
The Senate passed HB2102 on June 8, 2022, by a vote of 20 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because collection of a person’s DNA merely due to an arrest is dangerous and a direct violation of the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
