Circular seal surrounded by "THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA", with "EUREKA" atop the central image. A seated woman wearing ancient Roman warrior dress, with a shield at her feet, a spear in one hand, and a crested centurion's helmet, looks over a bay with four sailing ships. A small brown bear at her feet noses at vegetation. A miner in the near distance swings a pickaxe into the dirt near a shovel, pan, and sluice. Tall mountains line the bay, and 31 stars arc through the sky.

California Proposition 69, the DNA Initiative, was a successful 2004 California ballot proposition that allows for the collection of DNA samples from all felons and from people who have been arrested for certain crimes.[1] In 2009, all adults arrested for or charged with any felony will be included in the database.[1]

California currently maintains the third largest DNA database in the world.
