A Wisconsin Order to Produce a DNA Specimen is a court order issued by a Wisconsin judge to an individual to provide a sample of their DNA. The order requires the individual to provide a sample of their DNA for the purpose of testing for a criminal investigation or for other legal proceedings such as paternity testing or making a determination of genetic relationship. The individual must comply with the order, or face the potential of being found in contempt of court. There are two types of Wisconsin Order to Produce a DNA Specimen: voluntary and court-ordered. A voluntary order is issued when the individual consents to providing a sample of their DNA voluntarily. Court-ordered DNA specimen orders are issued when the individual does not voluntarily provide a sample of their DNA and the court determines that a sample is necessary for the legal proceedings at hand. In either case, once the order is issued, the individual must provide a sample of their DNA to the designated laboratory. The sample must be taken in accordance with the laws of Wisconsin and in compliance with the statutes of the Wisconsin DNA Data Bank. The sample must be collected using approved protocols for DNA collection and must be properly handled according to the laboratory's procedures. Once the sample is received, the laboratory will process it according to the protocols specified in the order and will submit the results to the court. The Wisconsin Order to Produce a DNA Specimen is an important tool used to obtain evidence for criminal and other legal proceedings. It is important to note that failure to comply with an order may result in legal consequences.
