The Carla Walker Act aims to establish a grant program designed to enhance forensic activities at the state and local levels, particularly focusing on advanced DNA analysis techniques, including forensic genetic genealogy (FGG). This legislation seeks to improve law enforcement's ability to solve crimes and identify unidentified human remains by providing funding for the use of cutting-edge forensic technology. Key provisions of the Act include the creation of a competitive grant program overseen by the Attorney General, which will allocate $5 million annually from 2027 to 2031.
