296.2. (a) Whenever the DNA Laboratory of the Department of Justice
notifies the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or any law
enforcement agency that a biological specimen or sample, or print
impression is not usable for any reason, the person who provided the
original specimen, sample, or print impression shall submit to
collection of additional specimens, samples, or print impressions.
The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or other responsible
law enforcement agency shall collect additional specimens, samples,
and print impressions from these persons as necessary to fulfill the
requirements of this chapter, and transmit these specimens, samples,
and print impressions to the appropriate agencies of the Department
of Justice.
(b) If a person, including any juvenile, is convicted of, pleads

This subdivision applies whether or not the blood specimen or
other biological sample originally was collected from the sexual or
violent offender pursuant to the databank and database program, and
whether or not the crime committed predated the enactment of the
state's DNA and forensic identification databank program, or any
amendments thereto. This subdivision does not relieve a person
convicted of a crime described in subdivision (a) of Section 296, or

another state, the person, as an additional requirement of
registration or of updating his or her annual registration pursuant
to the Sex Offender Registration Act shall give specimens, samples,
and print impressions as described in this chapter for inclusion in
the state's DNA and forensic identification database and databank.
At the time the person registers or updates his or her
registration, he or she shall receive an appointment designating a

facility or sex offender treatment program after referral to such
facility or program by a court after being charged with any felony
offense.
(4) The term "felony" as used in this subdivision includes an
attempt to commit the offense.
(5) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting
collection and analysis of specimens, samples, or print impressions

invalidate an arrest, plea, conviction, or disposition, or otherwise
relieve a person from the requirements of this chapter.
