SB 2460 expands the use of rapid DNA analysis by authorizing certain law enforcement agencies to perform fully automated DNA testing within 24 hours. It allows agencies approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to conduct rapid DNA testing and submit results directly to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). The bill also sets new quality standards for DNA testing, prohibits storing personal identifiers in CODIS without FBI approval, and establishes penalties for misuse of DNA records​.
