The bill would take effect September 1, 2013. Methodology The Department of Public Safety assumes that the provisions of the bill would add 460,000 addititonal DNA samples each year. In fiscal year 2011 DPS processed 68,528 DNA samples. The bill would increase the workload related to DNA sample processing by 670 percent. The agency states this increase would require additional FTEs, certain consumables related to DNA testing, and a one-time purchase of additional equipment necessary to process the additional DNA samples. It is assumed DPS would by fiscal year 2016 require a total of 79.9 additional FTEs with associated costs, including 46 Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) analysts, 18 Crime Laboratory Specialists, 4 Program Specialists, 1 Administrative Assistant I, 2 Managers, and 8.9 support FTEs. The bill would also require a one-time purchase of additional equipment used to process the DNA samples, estimated at $7,276,820. Additionally, the processing of DNA samples requires consumable supplies such as disposable items and chemicals. The agency estimates these supplies will cost $8,502,315 in fiscal year 2015, $11,764,995 in fiscal year 2016, $15,004,995 in fiscal year 2017 and $$14,788,995 in fiscal year 2018. Technology DPS would require a one-time purchase of additional equipment used to process DNA samples, estimated at $7,276,820. Local Government Impact The bill would require local law enforcement to obtain specimens from certain defendants to create a DNA record. While the local impact cannot be determined, it is assumed larger counties would likely see more costs associated with collecting and delivering the DNA sample to the state given the large increase in the number of individuals from whom samples would be required.
