ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland Senate has voted to extend a state law that allows police to take DNA samples from arrestees for certain violent crimes.
The Senate voted 39-7 to pass the bill on Thursday, sending it to Gov. Martin O'Malley who supports the law.
The law, which took effect in 2009, was set to expire in December. The measure extends it indefinitely.
