Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill will require DNA testing of certain juveniles.  If the tests could be done as saliva tests (cheek swab) the cost would be minimal and absorbed by the Department of Corrections.  Current law requires that DNA tests must be implemented by blood draw at a cost of approximately $38 per test.  Therefore, General Fund appropriations will be required to fund the testing of approximately 495 youths annually.
