| 03-9931 | Collection and Use of DNA Information | Rule | The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia ("CSOSA") is finalizing its interim rule which implemented section 4 of the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000, in conjunction with District of Columbia laws enacted pursuant to that Act which specify qualifying District of Columbia offenses for purposes of DNA sample collection. The interim regulations set forth the responsibilities of CSOSA for collecting DNA samples from individuals under its supervision who have been convicted of specific offenses identified by District of Columbia statute. The regulations specify that DNA samples are to be collected, handled, preserved, and submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") in accordance with FBI guidelines for inclusion in the Combined DNA Index System ("CODIS"), a national database of DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved crime scenes, and missing persons. The regulations also specify that CSOSA will cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to ensure that unnecessary samples will not be collected; establish a standard for what constitutes an individual's refusal to cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample; and define what steps CSOSA deems to be reasonably necessary to take when an individual refuses to cooperate. The regulations identify in an appendix the offenses which qualify for DNA collection, as they appear in the District of Columbia public laws, in the District of Columbia Code (1981 ed.), and in the District of Columbia Official Code (2001 ed.). | 2003-04-22 | 2003 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/04/22/03-9931/collection-and-use-of-dna-information | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-04-22/pdf/03-9931.pdf | Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia | 94 | The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia ("CSOSA") is finalizing its interim rule which implemented section 4 of the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000, in conjunction with District of Columbia laws... |
