Conditions receipt of a grant on a state having a procedure in place to provide written notification of expungement provisions and instructions to all persons who submit a DNA profile or DNA data and on an appropriate public website. Makes expungement requirements under the DNA Identification Act of 1994 applicable to any DNA profile or DNA data collected pursuant to this Act for inclusion in the System.
