Summary

Amends the Missing Persons Identification Act. Provides that, if biological samples are not available from a missing person, then biological samples may be used from any (rather than closely related) biological relatives of the missing person. Provides that biological samples from relatives must be provided voluntarily and that all consent and information forms must be completed and submitted with the samples. Provides that biological samples collected for DNA analysis shall be submitted to an accredited forensic laboratory for DNA testing for entry by a Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) participating laboratory (rather than a Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) or other accredited laboratory where DNA profiles are entered into local, State, and national DNA Index Systems) within 90 days from the date of the police report. Provides that the DNA profiles of biological samples from the remains of unidentifiable individuals collected by a coroner, medical examiner, or assisting law enforcement agency shall be entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) (rather than the appropriate State and National DNA Index System) within 90 days from the discovery of the remains.
