DNA identification system analytical procedures.

Law enforcement agencies establishing a DNA identification system must maintain written analytical procedures necessary to complete the analyses. A copy of the analytical procedures must be submitted to the patrol to ensure compatibility with the patrol's DNA identification system. Before the law enforcement agency implements a DNA identification system, the patrol must approve that agency's analytical procedures. The patrol will use Federal Bureau of Investigation's standards for DNA identification to approve or deny the law enforcement agency's analytical procedures. If the patrol denies the law enforcement agency's analytical procedures, the agency may not implement the DNA identification system. The law enforcement agency may appeal the patrol's denial in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (chapter 34.05 RCW).
