21    imposed,  shall  pay  an analysis fee of $500.  Upon verified
22    petition of the person, the court may suspend payment of  all
23    or  part of the fee if it finds that the person does not have
24    the ability to pay the fee.
25        (k)  All analysis and categorization fees provided for by
26    subsection (j) shall be regulated as follows:
27             (1)  The State Offender  DNA  Identification  System

 5        State Police crime  laboratories  as  designated  by  the
 6        Director  of  State  Police.   These  funds  shall  be in
 7        addition to any allocations  made  pursuant  to  existing
 8        laws  and  shall  be  designated for the exclusive use of
 9        State crime laboratories.  These uses  may  include,  but
10        are not limited to, the following:
11                  (A)  Costs  incurred  in providing analysis and

19                  (D)  Costs  incurred in continuing research and
20             development  of  new  techniques  for  analysis  and

26    any person or agency to collect a specimen, within the 45 day
27    period shall in no way alter the obligation of the person  to
28    submit  such  specimen,  or  the  authority  of  the Illinois
29    Department of State  Police  or  persons  designated  by  the
30    Department  to  collect the specimen, or the authority of the
