Bill summary

House amendment makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Establishes that blood or urine samples that were subject to chemical analysis can be destroyed by the analyzing agency 12 months after the case is filed or after the case is concluded in the trial court and not under appeal, whichever is later, without further notice to the parties (previously, samples could be destroyed 12 months after the issuance date of the report of all examinations conducted).

Deletes language which states that the provisions of Section 1 of the act, Disposition of Blood Evidence, applies to reports issued on or after December 1, 2013, now making Section 1 effective when it becomes law.
