Representative Frank Polk introduced House File 2624, describing it as adding arrest-based buccal swab DNA collection (a ‘‘21st century fingerprint’’) for people arrested for felonies or violent aggravated misdemeanors and said CODIS matches could help solve cold cases; Polk said samples would be deleted within 30 days by court order if charges are dropped or a defendant is acquitted.
