  1 20                           EXPLANATION
  1 21    This bill requires a person convicted of an aggravated
  1 22 misdemeanor to submit a DNA sample.
  1 23    The bill requires a person convicted of or who receives a
  1 24 deferred judgment for an offense that is classified as an
  1 25 aggravated misdemeanor to submit a DNA sample for DNA
  1 26 profiling.
  1 27    Current law provides that a person who is convicted of or
  1 28 who receives a deferred judgment for an offense classified as
  1 29 a felony shall submit a DNA sample for DNA profiling.
  1 30    The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
  1 31 section 25B.3.  The bill makes inapplicable Code section
  1 32 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political
  1 33 subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for
  1 34 the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
  1 35 Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with
  2  1 any state mandate included in the bill.
  2  2    The bill takes effect January 1, 2010.
