KY: An Act Relating to the Parole Board and Declaring an Emergency — All-Felony DNA Collection (HB 683, 2008 Ky. Acts ch. 158)

April 24, 2008

Originally a Parole Board bill (amending KRS 439.320); the Senate Judiciary Committee substitute inserted the full provisions of HB 289, mandating DNA collection from all persons convicted of any felony rather than only sex offenders, adding registered sex offenders as a collection category, and specifying authorized collection personnel. Repealed KRS 17.171 through 17.174. Passed the House 51-42 on concurrence and the Senate 37-1; signed by the Governor April 24, 2008.
