The Washington State Patrol(WSP)historically has tested the collected DNA samples.. <br /> There has been a recent change inpractice b the WSP requiring the convictions to be under the State law, <br /> Y q g <br /> instead of solelyunder a municipal ord° an <br /> ce. <br /> There is no substantive difference between the State laws and the current Everett Municipal Codes.For <br /> one of the crimes,Violation of a Sexual Assault Protection Order, only those portions of the RCW that deal <br /> with enforcement of the orders would be adopted(which is our current practice). The County would continue to <br /> handle the issuance of Sexual Assault Protection Orders. <br /> This proposed ordinance would adopt by reference the associated State laws for the crimes where DNA <br /> samples can be court-ordered upon conviction.
