The bill establishes the Expedited DNA Testing Grant Program within the Department of Law Enforcement, as outlined in the newly created section 943.328 of the Florida Statutes. This program aims to provide grants to law enforcement agencies for the processing and testing of DNA samples, particularly when local or state laboratories lack the necessary technology or when expedited testing is deemed necessary for justice. The bill defines a "private lab" as a DNA laboratory accredited under specific international standards and mandates that grant funds be used for processing and testing DNA samples by these private laboratories.

Grant recipients are required to submit a report to the executive director of the department within one year of receiving funding, detailing the amount of funding received, the number of cases tested, the type of DNA testing conducted, the laboratory used, the results of the testing, and the average time taken for identifications. Additionally, the department is tasked with adopting rules to implement and manage the program and to establish the allocation process for grant funds. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
