AB 2957 California Assembly · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Forensic evidence collection.

Summary
Existing law, as amended by the DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved Crime and Innocence Protection Act, Proposition 69, approved by voters at the November 2, 2004, general election, requires a person who has been convicted of a felony offense, among others, to provide buccal swab samples, right thumbprints, and a full palm print impression of each hand, and any blood specimens or other biological samples required for law enforcement identification analysis. Existing law imposes these requirements regardless of when the crime charged or committed became a qualifying offense. Proposition 69 may be amended by a statute that is passed by a majority vote if the amendments are consistent with, and further the purposes of, the proposition. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
