35-38-1-27. Persons Required to Provide a DNA Sample as a Condition of a Sentence

Sec. 27. (a) If a court imposes a sentence that does not involve a commitment to the department of correction, the court shall require a person:
(1) who is described in IC 10-13-6-10(a); and
(2) who has not previously provided a DNA sample in accordance with IC 10-13-6;
to provide a DNA sample as a condition of the sentence.
(b) If a person described in subsection (a) is confined at the time of sentencing, the court shall order the person to provide a DNA sample immediately after sentencing.
(c) If a person described in subsection (a) is not confined at the time of sentencing, the agency supervising the person after sentencing shall establish the date, time, and location for the person to provide a DNA sample. However, the supervising agency must require that the DNA sample be provided not more than seven (7) days after sentencing. A supervising agency's failure to obtain a DNA sample not more than seven (7) days after sentencing does not permit a person required to provide a DNA sample to challenge the requirement that the person provide a DNA sample at a later date.
(d) A person's failure to provide a DNA sample is grounds for revocation of the person's probation, community corrections placement, or other conditional release.
