  1  5    "The division of criminal investigation and bureau
  1  6 of identification shall conduct a pilot project to
  1  7 evaluate the use of brain fingerprinting as a pretrial
  1  8 investigative technique, including, but not limited
  1  9 to, the effectiveness of brain fingerprinting as a
  1 10 method of reducing investigatory costs by assisting in
  1 11 determining whether a suspect has knowledge of
  1 12 specific information regarding a crime and the
  1 13 effectiveness of brain fingerprinting as a method of
  1 14 reducing trial costs by increasing the number of
  1 15 defendants who choose to plead guilty and avoid a
  1 16 trial.  The pilot project shall be conducted pursuant
  1 17 to a contract with an Iowa business that has
  1 18 experience using brain fingerprinting technology in
  1 19 actual criminal cases.  The contract shall contain a
  1 20 provision under which the business agrees to forgo
  1 21 reimbursement of its expenses regarding the pilot
  1 22 project up to $108,000, unless the division determines
  1 23 that, as a result of conducting the pilot project, the
  1 24 state of Iowa realizes a savings of at least $108,000.
  1 25 The division, in consultation with the contracting
  1 26 business, shall file a report regarding the results of
  1 27 the pilot project with the cochairpersons and ranking
  1 28 members of the joint appropriations subcommittee on
  1 29 the justice system and the legislative services agency
  1 30 by January 15, 2005."
