Crimes: prostitution; references to prostitute and prostitution; modify in the DNA identification profiling system act. Amends sec. 6 of 1990 PA 250 (MCL 28.176).
This bill updates Michigan's DNA identification profiling laws to require the permanent collection of DNA samples from individuals arrested for specific sex-related offenses, including prostitution and commercial sexual activity. It mandates that law enforcement collect these samples after an arrest but before sentencing, with the resulting DNA profiles retained in the state database unless the charges are dismissed or the person is acquitted. Additionally, the legislation imposes a $60 assessment fee on those convicted of these crimes, with the collected funds distributed between local law enforcement agencies and the state justice system to cover sample collection costs. The bill also clarifies that individuals do not need to provide a new sample or pay the fee if the state already possesses their DNA profile from a prior arrest for the same types of offenses.
