An Act relative to lawfully owed DNA

This bill requires the state crime lab to audit the DNA database to identify offenders who should have provided DNA samples under existing law (Chapter 22E) but did not. It mandates a preliminary report within 90 days of enactment (or by Dec. 15, 2025) and a detailed final report by Dec. 15, 2025, including types of offenses and where collections failed. The audit must cover all relevant offenders, including those retroactively covered by the law, and annual audits will continue thereafter to ensure compliance.
