DNA samples are collected from all adults arrested for felonies. The DNA profile will be entered into the DNA database once a person is charged with a felony. Under certain conditions, the person may apply to have their DNA sample removed.
The removal of a DNA sample from the DNA database is called “expungement”. You will qualify for sample expungement under the following conditions:
1. Samples on file where the charges were dismissed, the case was acquitted, or the conviction for the offense was not a felony.
(There must be a final court order for the above.)
2. Samples collected where no charges are filed or a felony charge was not filed within ninety days of arrest.
