Summary

Existing law requires the Department of Justice to develop a DNA database for all cases involving the report of an unidentified deceased person or a high-risk missing person, as defined, and provides for the collection of DNA samples from unidentified deceased persons and from potential sources for comparison, as specified. Existing law requires that, until January 1, 2010, the database be funded by a $2 increase on death certificates issued by a local governmental agency or by the State of California. Existing law specifies the procedure for identifying the backlog of unidentified remains. This bill would delete the expiration date for the provision authorizing the collection of the $2 increase on death certificates. This bill would also make clarifying changes to the procedure for identifying any backlog of unidentified remains or donated familial samples. By requiring the collection of the increase on death certificates issued by local officials, the bill would also impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
