HB 2503 Juveniles; collection of DNA to include that of any age 14 whose delinquency charges are deferred.

Introduced by: Brenda L. Pogge | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

DNA sampling of juveniles. Expands the collection of DNA of juveniles to include that of any juvenile age 14 or older whose delinquency (felony if committed by an adult) charges are deferred and dismissed under § 16.1-278.8. The sample would be kept permanently without eligibility for expungement. Currently, juvenile DNA is only collected when a juvenile age 14 or older is convicted of a felony or adjudicated delinquent of an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult, and under current expungement provisions, such samples may be expunged upon subsequent acquittal or dismissal.
