(d) "Lineage testing" means additional genetic testing used to help confirm or refute biological relatedness between the known individual in a DNA database and the unknown individual contributing the evidence DNA profile. Examples of additional genetic testing include but are not limited to:   (i) Y-STR analysis to examine STR patterns specific to the Y-chromosome used to determine paternally derived relatedness among DNA profiles;   (ii) mtDNA analysis to examine cell mitochondria used to determine maternally derived relatedness; or   (iii) single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping to generate results related to a person's ancestry and genetic predisposition to health-related topics.

(3) A restorative justice program eligible for grant funding pursuant to this section shall use evidence-based practices, which may include but are not limited to facilitated victim-offender meetings, family group conferencing, sentencing circles, victim impact panels, offender accountability letters, restitution programs, constructive community service, victim awareness education, victim empathy programs, school expulsion alternatives, peer mediation, diversion programs, and community panels.
