Advanced DNA testing for cold cases.

Summary

The law adds a new chapter to the Indiana Code that lets qualified nonprofit entities cover the cost of advanced DNA testing—such as forensic analysis, analytics, or genetic genealogy—for cold homicide, sex‑offense, and high‑risk missing‑person cases. Victims, eligible family members, coroners, or law‑enforcement agencies can request testing, and the nonprofit determines eligibility based on criteria like request order and available funds. This aims to help solve long‑standing cases without using state money.
