I was wondering the same thing. How long for DNA to come back? Does Ohio have it to where if you where ever convicted of a felony charge that you had to submit your DNA????? I know thats what happens in my state.

[Ohio] Bill will allow DNA testing on arrest
by Sharon Coolidge, Cincinnati Enquirer
September 5th, 2009
A justice reform bill endorsed by Gov. Ted Strickland and passed by the Senate designed to prevent wrongful convictions also includes a controversial measure to expand the collection of DNA samples to those arrested on felony charges.
Currently, Ohio only takes DNA from people convicted of felonies and violent misdemeanors.
Law enforcement groups support the expansion, saying it gets violent offenders off the street quicker and prevents future crimes.
But others say DNA collection before conviction crosses the line, especially because the bill does not address what happens if a person isn't convicted.
