The bill establishes the Expedited DNA Testing Grant Program within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, as outlined in the newly created section 943.328 of the Florida Statutes. It defines "private laboratory" and sets forth the criteria for these laboratories, which must be accredited for at least five years according to specific standards. The program aims to provide annual grants to law enforcement agencies for the processing of DNA samples by private laboratories, particularly when local or state resources are insufficient or when expedited testing is deemed necessary for ongoing investigations.

Grant recipients are required to submit an annual report detailing the funding received, the number of cases tested, the type of DNA testing conducted, the private laboratory used, and the average time taken for testing completion. The bill emphasizes accountability and transparency in the use of grant funds, ensuring that law enforcement agencies provide comprehensive data on their DNA testing efforts. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
