 HB 2932 by Rep. Allen Vaught (D-Dallas) will allow the Dept. of Public Safety to create a DNA database to use to determine past criminal history, regardless of whether a person was charged or convicted for a previous crime.  It's based on "high likelihood" of a DNA match.

Bad in so many ways....
 
And you know, it kills me to think that the voters in HD 107 were so upset that Bill Keffer was always in Austin that they ousted him in favor of Vaught.  Keffer would be down here right now fighting for property tax relief and changing the margins tax.  Vaught wants to create a DNA database.  Do you see what I mean?!
 
Anyway, please start calling your state reps. and urge them to vote no on this bill.
