                                  TITLE  19
                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 55
                      THE IDAHO DNA DATABASE ACT OF 1996
    19-5509.  GENETIC TESTING OF SAMPLES GIVEN FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE. If a
person has been convicted of a crime as provided by this chapter and has given
a DNA sample or samples to law enforcement for any purpose, the bureau of
forensic services is authorized to analyze such samples for DNA, and include
the DNA profiles from such samples in the state's convicted felon DNA databank
and databases. This provision applies whether the DNA sample originally
collected was from a sexual or violent offender pursuant to the databank and
database program, and whether the crime committed predated the effective date
of this chapter, or any amendments thereto. This provision does not relieve a
person subject to the terms of this chapter from giving a DNA sample and
thumbprint impression for the DNA databank and database.
