The bill amends existing laws regarding the collection and analysis of sexual abuse evidence collection kits in Iowa. It establishes new definitions for terms such as "DNA," "DNA profile," "DNA profiling," and "kit," while also clarifying the roles of health care providers and law enforcement agencies in the process. Specifically, health care providers must notify the relevant law enforcement agency within 24 hours of collecting evidence, and law enforcement must collect the kit within three days. The bill also mandates that kits be stored for a minimum of 50 years, regardless of whether a criminal complaint has been filed.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of law enforcement and laboratories in the analysis of these kits. Law enforcement agencies are required to transfer kits to laboratories for analysis within seven days, and laboratories must conduct analyses within 30 days of receipt. The bill emphasizes the importance of developing DNA profiles that can be entered into national and state DNA databases. If a complete DNA profile cannot be established, laboratories are instructed to evaluate the evidence for other profiling possibilities. Furthermore, provisions are made for the disposal of anonymous kits after a 50-year retention period.
