Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT  OF  PURPOSE
                            RS 13494
Idaho Code Chapter 55, Title 19 is "The Idaho DNA Database Act of 1996". 
  This proposed amendment to the statute adds a definition of  "DNA
analysis"; provides for the addition of two new classes of offenders
subject to sample collection: felony burglary and felony domestic
violence; and provides that persons subject to section 19-5506 may be
ordered by the court to pay restitution to help offset costs incurred by
law enforcement agencies for the expense of DNA analysis.

Burglars are known to have a high correlation with rape, and DNA database
research has proven this.  A review of the state of Virginia database
showed that nearly half of all the hits on unsolved rapes come from
offenders with prior burglary convictions.  Domestic assaults likewise
are violent crimes often leading to rape or homicide.  Inclusion of these
crime categories in the DNA database will increase law enforcement's
ability to identify and more quickly bring to justice the perpetrators
of violent crimes.

Idaho is now on line with STR (Short Tandem Repeat) DNA analysis and
CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), and can provide DNA analysis on
samples submitted for a variety of crimes.  DNA analysis is a costly
procedure, with processing expenses running from $750 to $1,200 per
sample.  DNA case analysis typically requires a minimum of three samples
with some homicide/rape cases submitting over one hundred samples.  As
sample numbers and technology costs increase, it is prudent to consider
recouping a portion of the costs from offenders through restitution.  The
amount is calculated to be affordable to the offender and will roughly
cover the cost of reagents for the DNA analysis, or allow local law
enforcement to recoup some cost of specialized DNA analysis not available
from the Bureau of Forensic Services.

Restitution funds received by the laboratory will be used to purchase,
repair and maintain instruments, equipment and supplies, pay for training
and general operations/maintenance of the laboratory and pay for DNA
outsourcing on analysis that ISP's laboratory does not perform.

                         FISCAL  IMPACT

Estimated costs for the increase in samples based on felony burglary and
felony domestic violence convictions to ISP Forensic Services budget
(general fund) could vary between $10,400 and $46,938 depending on award
of federal grants for offender backlog reduction.  Income from
restitution for DNA analysis will depend on frequency of restitution
ordered and the ability of the offender to pay.
