***

Statute prohibits the inclusion of a crime victim's DNA into the database if he hasn't committed a qualifying offense.

***

See 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann § 5/116-5 for details on motions for DNA database searches

The DNA database is explicitly
authorized for use for
purposes of post-conviction
DNA testing and analysis

***

Statute authorizes the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to promulgate rules and regulations regarding collection, maintenance and expungement^†

***

The lab can only assess genetic markers that have value for law enforcement purposes, which does not prohibit use of a marker with dual medical value.

***

The database can be used "as necessary to the functions of an office of chief medical examiner," likely authorizing use for purposes of identifying missing persons and human remains

The database can be used as required under federal law as a precondition for federal funding.

***

If a DNA profile exists, it can be used for purposes of establishing parentage in a judicial proceeding.

***

The DNA record may never include the results of tests of any structural genes

***

Educ § 105.452 et seq establish a database for any case based on the report of unidentified human remains or a report of a high-risk missing person.

Statute also allows analysis of

antigen antibodies, polymorphic
