House Bill 1399, filed by state Rep. Reggie Smith, R-Van Alstyne, would expand the scope of the state's DNA collection practices to require swabs be taken from more felony offenders. It also would call for DNA samples to be taken at the time of arrest, something advocates say is a step in the right direction.
