Modifies provisions relating to the collection of DNA samples in criminal cases

Summary

The bill expands Missouri’s DNA collection law to require fingerprint and DNA samples from anyone convicted of a felony, arrested for specified burglary or felony offenses, designated sexually violent predators, or registered sex offenders. Samples must be taken at booking, upon entering or leaving correctional facilities, or when registering as a sex offender, and individuals cannot refuse. It also sets confidentiality rules, penalties for misuse, and a court‑ordered expungement process.
