Description

Frozen DNA samples are stored in a walk-in freezer at the Oregon State Police forensics laboratory in this 2024 file photo.

A bill that would add Oregon to a list of more than 30 states that require law enforcement officials to collect the DNA of every serious felony suspect upon their arrest advanced out of a legislative committee Monday. The bill would represent a significant shift from current law, which allows the state to take DNA samples only upon a felony conviction.
