Summary

Provides that on or before February 1 of each year, the Department of State Police shall report to the Governor and both houses of the General Assembly all evidence awaiting testing or DNA analysis, including whether such evidence is in the physical custody of the Department of State Police or awaiting submission to the Department State Police, to the extent that the Department of State Police has notice of such evidence; and the number of convicted persons in Illinois eligible to have their DNA profile entered into the convicted offender database whose DNA profile has not yet been entered into the convicted offender database.

Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill SB 2985 clarify the reporting requirements for the Department of State Police regarding forensic testing backlog. The deadline for these reports remains February 1 each year, but now specifies that the backlog includes all cases awaiting testing in both state and local custody. Additionally, the bill removes the provision about reporting on the number of convicted persons eligible for DNA profiling. This change is important because it emphasizes the need for transparency about the backlog and measures taken to reduce it, which can help improve the efficiency of the forensic testing process and ultimately impact the justice system.
