The bill establishes the Expedited DNA Testing Grant Program within the Department of Law Enforcement, as defined in the newly created section 943.328 of the Florida Statutes. It defines "private laboratory" as any DNA laboratory accredited for at least five years according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and applicable Federal Bureau of Investigation Quality Assurance Standards. The program aims to provide annual grants to law enforcement agencies for the processing of DNA testing on evidentiary items, particularly when local or state laboratory resources are insufficient or when expedited testing is deemed necessary for advancing 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 to complete the testing. The Department of Law Enforcement is granted rulemaking authority to implement and administer the program and establish the allocation process for grant funds. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
