HRS §844D-55
Other police labs can run their own DNA tests
This section says that other law enforcement DNA labs are allowed to keep their own local DNA databases and do their own forensic identification work, including DNA profiling, separate from the state's DNA program. It does not require or forbid anything else.
The statute, as written — Other law enforcement DNA laboratories
Nothing in this chapter shall preclude other law enforcement DNA laboratories from maintaining local forensic databases and data banks or performing forensic identification analyses, including DNA profiling, independent from the state DNA database and data bank identification program.
