Criminal Procedure - Forensic Genetic Genealogical DNA Analysis and Search - Affidavit for Judicial Authorization

Summary

The bill changes the affidavit requirements that law‑enforcement must submit to a judge before starting a forensic genetic genealogical DNA analysis (FGGS). It limits FGGS to serious crimes such as murder, rape or offenses that threaten public safety, and adds conditions like a prior failed STR DNA match or a 15‑year waiting period for older cases. The goal is to tighten oversight of this powerful investigative tool.
