LANSING -- Anyone arrested for a violent felony in Michigan will be required to provide a DNA sample under legislation signed into law by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

Granholm announced Monday she had signed the bill along with several others recently passed by the Michigan Legislature.People arrested for murder, felonious assault, manslaughter, criminal sexual conduct, armed robbery, kidnapping and some other crimes will be required to submit DNA samples. Previous Michigan law required only those convicted of certain crimes to provide the samples.

Granholm said she also signed bills aimed at cracking down on smugglers who redeem out-of-state pop cans and beer bottles for 10 cents in Michigan.
