The requirements of this chapter apply regardless of whether a court advises a person that a DNA sample must be provided to the State DNA Databank and Database as a condition of probation or parole. No person who has been sentenced to death or life without the possibility of parole, or to any life or indeterminate term of incarceration is exempt from the requirements of this chapter. Any person subject to this chapter, who has not provided a DNA sample for any reason, including the person's release prior to July 1, 2003, an oversight or error, or because of the person's transfer from another jurisdiction, shall give a DNA sample for inclusion in the State DNA Database after being notified by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. If a person's DNA sample is not adequate for any reason, the person shall provide another DNA sample for analysis.
