(a) Conditional acceptance.--When a person is accepted into this Commonwealth for supervision from another jurisdiction under the Interstate Compact for Supervision of Adult Offenders, other reciprocal agreement with a Federal, state or county agency, or a provision of law, whether or not the person is confined or released, the acceptance shall be conditioned on the offender providing a DNA sample under this chapter and fingerprints if the offender has a past or present Federal, state or military court conviction or adjudication that is equivalent to a felony sex offense or other specified offense as determined by the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole. Additional DNA samples may be collected but shall not be required if the supervising agency or place of confinement confirms that a DNA sample is currently on file with the State DNA Data Bank and a DNA record for the person exists in the State DNA Data Base.
(b) Time period.--
(1) If the person accepted under subsection (a) is not confined, the DNA sample and fingerprints required under this chapter shall be provided within five calendar days after the person reports to the supervising agent or within five calendar days of notice to the person, whichever occurs first. The person shall appear and the DNA sample shall be collected in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(2) If the person accepted under subsection (a) is confined, the person shall provide the DNA sample and fingerprints required by this chapter within five calendar days after the person is received at a place of incarceration or confinement.
