DIGEST OF INTRODUCED BILL
Citations Affected: IC 10-13-6-13.5.
Synopsis: Use of DNA evidence. Permits, subject to Combined DNA
Index System (CODIS) guidelines, the superintendent of the state
police department to authorize the investigation of a person genetically
related to an individual whose DNA profile is stored in the Indiana
DNA data base if the results of a DNA test conducted on a DNA
sample as part of a criminal investigation: (1) do not show an exact
match between the DNA sample and the DNA profile stored in the data
base; but (2) show that the DNA sample matches the DNA profile
stored in the data base so closely as to suggest that a person genetically
related to the individual whose DNA profile is stored in the data base
may be a suspect.

SECTION 1. IC 10-13-6-13.5 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA
CODE AS A
NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS
[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013]:
Sec. 13.5. If a DNA analysis conducted
on a DNA sample as part of a criminal investigation:
(1) does not establish an exact match between the DNA sample
and the DNA profile of an individual whose DNA record is
stored in the Indiana DNA data base; and
(2) indicates that the DNA sample so closely matches the DNA
profile of an individual whose DNA record is stored in the
data base as to reasonably suggest that the DNA sample
comes from a person who is genetically related to the
individual whose DNA record is stored in the data base;
the superintendent may, subject to the Combined DNA Index
System (CODIS) guidelines on the use of a DNA record established
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, authorize an investigation
of one (1) or more persons who are genetically related to the
individual whose DNA records are stored in the data base.
