Recent/Pending Legislation
Core DNA collection: No general offender databank. Like Guam, CNMI’s only DNA mandate is in its Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act — 6 CMC § 1365(a)(4) — requiring a covered sex offender to provide DNA for CODIS entry if not already on file (definitions at 6 CMC § 1360).
Arrestee / Convicted (general): None. No arrestee law and no all-felony convicted-offender mandate. The only trigger is sex-offender status.
- No law or published policy identified.
- No legislation, regulation, or stated stance identified.
- No statute, audit, or dedicated funding.
- No reporting or transparency requirement.
