3         marker categorization.
4             (E) Costs incurred in continuing education,

7     (l) The failure of a person to provide a specimen, or of
8 any person or agency to collect a specimen, within the 45 day
9 period shall in no way alter the obligation of the person to
10 submit such specimen, or the authority of the Illinois
11 Department of State Police or persons designated by the
12 Department to collect the specimen, or the authority of the
13 Illinois Department of State Police to accept, analyze and
14 maintain the specimen or to maintain or upload results of
15 genetic marker grouping analysis information into a State or
16 national database.
