Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 644 include the addition of a new provision stating that the act will only take effect if there is funding included in the 2018 general budget. This means that while the bill outlines the collection and analysis of DNA samples from individuals arrested for specific crimes, it won't be implemented unless the state allocates money to support the process. This change is significant because it puts the onus on the legislature to ensure proper funding is in place before the new law can be enforced.
