The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies in Alabama must collect fingerprints and DNA samples from any illegal alien in their custody before releasing them. Specifically, it stipulates that a full set of fingerprints and a known DNA reference sample must be obtained, and these samples must then be submitted to the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency for cataloging and to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for analysis and entry into relevant databases.

This legislation introduces new requirements for law enforcement procedures regarding illegal aliens, emphasizing the collection and processing of biometric data. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided.
