Gov. O'Malley's plan to expand the number of people the state collects DNA samples from (currently just convicted felons) passed the Senate 36-11 this morning. (The vote later changed to 35-12 when Sen. Verna Jones changed her vote and asked that her name be stripped off as a co-sponsor.) O'Malley wants to collect DNA from those who are arrested for serious crimes, whether they're convicted or not. The House version of the bill was watered down a good deal to satisfy critics in the Black Caucus and others, so it's unclear how easy it will be for the two chambers to compromise and send the bill to O'Malley.
