The Carla Walker Act establishes a federal grant program to fund forensic genetic genealogy DNA analysis and equipment for 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 failed to produce leads through standard databases, or to purchase forensic equipment for genealogical DNA analysis. The bill authorizes $5 million annually for fiscal years 2025–2029 for DNA analysis grants and an equal amount for equipment purchases, with oversight requirements and reporting mandates to track case outcomes and identification success rates.
