The bill helps to solve a number of other extremely important issues:.

identification of missing persons;

identification of unidentified human corpses, their remains and human body parts;

identification of persons who, due to their state of health, age or other circumstances, are unable to provide information about themselves.

The Law Enforcement Committee changed the approach set out in the original text of the bill and provided for mandatory DNA sampling of military personnel, police officers and rescuers during martial law..
