The bill amends the Juvenile Facilities Act to establish new requirements for juveniles under the supervision of the department or a county juvenile agency. It stipulates that such juveniles must not be placed in community placements or discharged from wardship until they provide samples for DNA testing and profiling, as well as for determining their secretor status, if they have been found responsible for certain violations of the Michigan Penal Code or have been convicted of specific misdemeanors related to sexual offenses. The bill also clarifies that the collection of DNA samples can occur without the juvenile's consent and does not require a court order.

Additionally, the bill introduces a $60 assessment fee for juveniles found responsible for or convicted of the specified crimes, which will be used to cover costs associated with DNA profiling and retention. The DNA profiles collected under this section are restricted in their disclosure, only being shared with law enforcement agencies, in judicial proceedings, or for research purposes with personal identifiers removed. The amendments aim to enhance the state's ability to track and manage juvenile offenders while ensuring compliance with DNA identification requirements.
