                          Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 320 will establish a system for integration of Rapid 
DNA instruments for use by law enforcement to reduce violent 
crime and reduce the current DNA analysis backlog.

                Background and Need for the Legislation

    The DNA Identification Act of 1994 established Federal DNA 
labs and authorized the FBI to begin compiling DNA information 
into a central database. This database is known as the National 
DNA Index System (NDIS) and the system for analyzing and 
communicating the data is known as the Combined DNA Index 
System (CODIS). The 1994 bill allowed DNA testing to be done by 
accredited state labs with results from state labs being 
uploaded to CODIS.
    DNA technology has advanced a great deal in the intervening 
years since the 1994 bill. What once took days or weeks to 
ascertain, DNA testing can now be completed in a matter of 
hours. There is current technology that allows for DNA testing 
and identification on a small, copier-sized machine in a number 
of hours. This is known as Rapid DNA technology. A DNA sample 
is taken--often times a cheek swab--placed into a cartridge 
that slides into the Rapid DNA machine, and reports back the 
DNA profile in approximately ninety minutes. The FBI, working 
with the forensics community, is hopeful that this technology 
can be used in a booking station, to help identify suspects in 
the same way a finger print is currently used. To be clear, 
Rapid DNA technology can only be used for identification 
purposes at this time, not crime scene analysis.
    Unfortunately, the 1994 act creating CODIS does not allow 
for the use of this technology since only state labs are 
allowed access to CODIS. Currently, booking stations have to 
send their DNA samples off to state labs and wait weeks for the 
results. This has created a backlog that impacts all crime 
investigations using forensics, not just forensics used for 
identification purposes. The short turnaround time of Rapid DNA 
would help to quickly eliminate potential suspects, help to 
capture those who have committed a previous crime and left DNA 
evidence, as well as free up current DNA profilers to do the 
advanced forensic DNA analysis such as crime scene analysis and 
rape-kits. The Rapid DNA Act would modify the current law 
regarding DNA testing and access to CODIS, which restricts it 
to only state labs.
    This bill would allow local police to submit DNA records 
that are generated by Rapid DNA systems outside an accredited 
laboratory to be uploaded to NDIS. Within one to 2 years 
following passage of this legislation, the FBI intends to 
develop and implement the necessary interfaces for booking 
stations to access CODIS. This will allow law enforcement 
agencies to determine if submitted DNA samples are a positive 
match or not within a matter of hours rather than the days or 
weeks that it currently takes.

                                Hearings

    The Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, 
Homeland Security and Investigations held 1 day of hearings on 
H.R. 320 on June 18, 2015. Testimony was received from:

                        Committee Consideration

    On July 7, 2016, the Committee met in open session and 
ordered the bill H.R. 320 favorably reported, with an 
amendment, by voice vote, a quorum being present.

                            Committee Votes

    In compliance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that there 
were no recorded votes during the Committee's consideration of 
H.R. 320.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on 
oversight activities under clause 2(b)(1) of rule X of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, are incorporated in the 
descriptive portions of this report.

               New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures

respect to the bill, H.R. 320, the following estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, July 29, 2016.
Hon. Bob Goodlatte, Chairman,
Committee on the Judiciary,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 320, the ``Rapid 
DNA Act of 2016.''
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Mark 
Grabowicz, who can be reached at 226-2860.
            Sincerely,
                                                Keith Hall,
                                                  Director.

Enclosure

cc:
        Honorable John Conyers, Jr.
        Ranking Member



                    H.R. 320--Rapid DNA Act of 2016.

      As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary 
                            on July 7, 2016.



    H.R. 320 would direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
(FBI) to issue standards and procedures for the use of certain 
automated processes to analyze DNA samples. The agency is 
currently undertaking activities to prepare for increased use 
of such enhanced analyses. Based on information from the FBI, 
CBO estimates that enacting the bill would cost less than 
$500,000 annually; such spending would be subject to the 
availability of appropriated funds.
    Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending 
or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. 
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 320 would not increase net 
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four 
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.
    H.R. 320 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and 
would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal 
governments.
    On June 14, 2016, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 
2348, the Rapid DNA Act of 2016, as ordered reported by the 
Senate Committee on the Judiciary on May 12, 2016. That 
legislation is similar to H.R. 320 and CBO's estimates of the 
budgetary effects are the same.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. 
The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy 
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

                    Duplication of Federal Programs

    No provision of H.R. 320 establishes or reauthorizes a 
program of the Federal Government known to be duplicative of 
another Federal program, a program that was included in any 
report from the Government Accountability Office to Congress 
pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139, or a program 
related to a program identified in the most recent Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance.

                  Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings

    The Committee estimates that H.R. 320 specifically directs 
to be completed no specific rule makings within the meaning of 
5 U.S.C. Sec. 551.

                    Performance Goals and Objectives

    The Committee states that pursuant to clause 3(c)(4) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, H.R. 
320, is designed to establish a system for integration of Rapid 
DNA instruments for use by law enforcement to reduce violent 
crime and reduce the current DNA analysis backlog.

                          Advisory on Earmarks

    In accordance with clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, H.R. 320 does not contain any 
congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff 
benefits as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of Rule XXI.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

    Section 1. Short Title. This section cites the short title 
of the bill as the ``Rapid DNA Act of 2016.''
    Section 2. Rapid DNA Instruments. This section requires the 
Director of the FBI to issue standards and procedures for the 
use of Rapid DNA instruments and resulting analyses. It also 
amends the DNA Identification Act of 1994 to include 
laboratories that are independently accredited and undergo 
external audits not less than every 2 years.
    Section 3. Conforming Amendments Relating to Collection of 
DNA Identification Information. This section amends the DNA 
Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 by allowing the 
Director of the FBI to waive certain requirements under the Act 
if the DNA samples are analyzed by means of Rapid DNA 
instruments and the results are included in CODIS.

         Changes in Existing Law Made by the Bill, as Reported

    In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by 
the bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing law 
proposed to be omitted is enclosed in black brackets, new 
matter is printed in italics, and existing law in which no 
change is proposed is shown in roman):

  (2) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
after taking into consideration such recommended standards, 
shall issue (and revise from time to time) standards for 
quality assurance, including standards for testing the 
proficiency of forensic laboratories, and forensic analysts, in 
conducting analyses of DNA.
  (3) The standards described in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall 
specify criteria for quality assurance and proficiency tests to 
be applied to the various types of DNA analyses used by 
forensic laboratories. The standards shall also include a 
system for grading proficiency testing performance to determine 
whether a laboratory is performing acceptably.
  (4) Until such time as the advisory board has made 
recommendations to the Director of the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation and the Director has acted upon those 
recommendations, the quality assurance guidelines adopted by 
the technical working group on DNA analysis methods shall be 
deemed the Director's standards for purposes of this section.
          (5)(A) In addition to issuing standards as provided 
        in paragraphs (1) through (4), the Director of the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation shall issue standards 
        and procedures for the use of Rapid DNA instruments and 
        resulting DNA analyses.
          (B) In this Act, the term ``Rapid DNA instruments'' 
        means instrumentation that carries out a fully 
        automated process to derive a DNA analysis from a DNA

U.S.C. App.) shall not apply with respect to the advisory board 
appointed under subsection (a).
  (3) The DNA advisory board established under this section 
shall be separate and distinct from any other advisory board 
administered by the FBI, and is to be administered separately.
  (4) The board shall cease to exist on the date 5 years after 
the initial appointments are made to the board, unless the 
existence of the board is extended by the Director of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
  (c) Proficiency Testing Program.--(1) Not later than 1 year 
after the effective date of this Act, the Director of the 
National Institute of Justice shall certify to the Committees 
on the Judiciary of the House and Senate that--
          (A) the Institute has entered into a contract with, 
        or made a grant to, an appropriate entity for 
        establishing, or has taken other appropriate action to 
        ensure that there is established, not later than 2 
        years after the date of enactment of this Act, a blind 
        external proficiency testing program for DNA analyses, 
        which shall be available to public and private 
        laboratories performing forensic DNA analyses;
          (B) a blind external proficiency testing program for 
        DNA analyses is already readily available to public and 
        private laboratories performing forensic DNA analyses; 
        or
          (C) it is not feasible to have blind external testing 
        for DNA forensic analyses.
  (2) As used in this subsection, the term ``blind external 
proficiency test'' means a test that is presented to a forensic 
laboratory through a second agency and appears to the analysts 
to involve routine evidence.
  (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney 
General shall make available to the Director of the National 
Institute of Justice during the first fiscal year in which 
funds are distributed under this subtitle up to $250,000 from 
the funds available under part X of Title I of the Omnibus 
Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to carry out this 
subsection.
