Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Carla Walker Act establishes federal grant programs to fund forensic genetic genealogy DNA analysis and equipment purchases by state and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, medical examiners, and coroners. Eligible entities may use grants to conduct whole genome sequencing on DNA samples that have not yielded results through standard databases, or to purchase forensic equipment for genetic genealogy analysis. The bill authorizes $5 million annually for fiscal years 2024–2028 for DNA analysis grants and an equal amount for equipment purchases, and requires grant recipients to submit annual reports on testing activities and outcomes.
