The result records of offender DNA profiles are organized into a centralized index within the State DNA Data Bank -- a part of CODIS, the national Combined DNA Index System developed by the FBI ... This DCJS report compares two proposals to expand the State DNA Data Bank by indexing those offenders convicted of nonviolent felonies and less serious crimes as well.")

The government responded by assenting to the DNA Identification Act on Dec. 10, 1998. The legislation allowed a DNA data bank to be created and amended the Criminal Code to provide a mechanism for a judge to order persons convicted of designated offences to prode blood, buccal, or hair samples from which CNA profiles will be derived.")
