5 21 criminal investigation denies an expungement request,
5 22 the division shall notify the person requesting the
5 23 expungement of the decision not to expunge the DNA

5 35 Sec. 10. NEW SECTION. 81.10 DNA PROFILING AFTER
5 36 CONVICTION.
5 37 1. A defendant who has been convicted of a felony
5 38 and who has not been required to submit a DNA sample
5 39 for DNA profiling may make a motion to the court for
5 40 an order to require that DNA analysis be performed on
5 41 evidence collected in the case for which the person
5 42 stands convicted.
5 43 2. The motion shall state the following:

5 49 or involve sexual assault, and if so, whether a sexual
5 50 assault examination was conducted and evidence
6 1 preserved, if known.
6 2 d. Whether identity was at issue or contested by
6 3 the defendant.
6 4 e. Whether the defendant offered an alibi, and if
6 5 so, testimony corroborating the alibi and, from whom.

6 9 misconduct have been raised in the past or are being

6 13 proceeding.
6 14 i. Whether blood testing or other biological
6 15 evidence testing was conducted previously in
6 16 connection with the case and, if so, by whom and to
6 17 the result, if known.
6 18 j. What biological evidence exists and, if known,
6 19 the agency or laboratory storing the evidence that the
6 20 defendant seeks to have tested.
6 21 k. Why the requested analysis of DNA evidence is
6 22 material to the issue in the case and not merely
6 23 cumulative or impeaching.
6 24 l. Why the DNA evidence would have changed the
6 25 outcome of the trial or invalidated a guilty plea if
6 26 DNA profiling had been conducted prior to the
6 27 conviction.
6 28 3. A motion filed under this section shall be
6 29 filed in the county where the defendant was convicted,
6 30 and notice of the motion shall be served by certified

6 32 state, local agency, or laboratory holding evidence
6 33 described in subsection 2, paragraph "k". The county
6 34 attorney shall have sixty days to file an answer to
6 35 the motion.
6 36 4. Any DNA profiling of the defendant or other
6 37 biological evidence testing conducted by the state or
6 38 by the defendant shall be disclosed and the results of
6 39 such profiling or testing described in the motion or
6 40 answer.
6 41 5. If the evidence requested to be tested was
6 42 previously subjected to DNA or other biological
6 43 analysis by either party, the court may order the
6 44 disclosure of the results of such testing, including
6 45 laboratory reports, notes, and underlying data, to the
6 46 court and the parties.
6 47 6. The court may order a hearing on the motion to
6 48 determine if evidence should be subjected to DNA
6 49 analysis.
6 50 7. The court shall grant the motion if all of the
7 1 following apply:
7 2 a. The evidence subject to DNA testing is
7 3 available and in a condition that will permit
7 4 analysis.
7 5 b. A sufficient chain of custody has been
7 6 established for the evidence.
7 7 c. The identity of the person who committed the
7 8 crime for which the defendant was convicted was a
7 9 significant issue in the crime for which the defendant
7 10 was convicted.
7 11 d. The evidence subject to DNA analysis is
7 12 material to, and not merely cumulative or impeaching
7 13 of, evidence included in the trial record or admitted
7 14 to at a guilty plea proceeding.
7 15 e. DNA analysis of the evidence would raise a
7 16 reasonable probability that the defendant would not
7 17 have been convicted if DNA profiling had been
7 18 available at the time of the conviction and had been
7 19 conducted prior to the conviction.
7 20 8. Upon the court granting a motion filed pursuant
7 21 to this section, DNA analysis of evidence shall be
7 22 conducted within the guidelines generally accepted by
7 23 the scientific community. The defendant shall provide
7 24 DNA samples for testing if requested by the state.
7 25 9. Results of DNA analysis conducted pursuant to
7 26 this section shall be reported to the parties and to
7 27 the court and may be provided to the board of parole,
7 28 department of corrections, and criminal and juvenile
7 29 justice agencies, as defined in section 692.1, for use
7 30 in the course of investigations and prosecutions, and
7 31 for consideration in connection with requests for
7 32 parole, pardon, reprieve, and commutation. DNA
7 33 samples obtained pursuant to this section may be
7 34 included in the DNA databank, and DNA profiles and DNA
7 35 records developed pursuant to this section may be
7 36 included in the DNA database.
7 37 10. A criminal or juvenile justice agency, as
7 38 defined in section 692.1, shall maintain DNA samples
7 39 and evidence that could be tested for DNA for a period
7 40 of three years beyond the limitations for the
7 41 commencement of criminal actions as set forth in
7 42 chapter 802. This section does not create a cause of
7 43 action for damages or a presumption of spoliation in
7 44 the event evidence is no longer available for testing.
7 45 11. If the court determines a defendant who files
7 46 a motion under this section is indigent, the defendant
7 47 shall be entitled to appointment of counsel as
7 48 provided in chapter 815.
7 49 12. If the court determines after DNA analysis
7 50 ordered pursuant to this section that the results
8 1 indicate conclusively that the DNA profile of the
8 2 defendant matches the profile from the analyzed
8 3 evidence used against the defendant, the court may
8 4 order the defendant to pay the costs of these
8 5 proceedings, including costs of all testing, court
8 6 costs, and costs of court=appointed counsel, if any.
