body: **Question** (short version):
  
  
  My probation has been transferred to my home state via Interstate Compact. Can the sending state still compel me to resubmit a new DNA sample?

  **Background:**
  
  
  * I was convicted of a crime in New York State (New York City), but I live in New Jersey.
  * As part of my plea agreement, I received probation.
  * Once convicted, I submitted the mandatory DNA swab (pursuant to NY State law and the conditions of my probation).
  * I reside in New Jersey, so my probation was immediately transferred to NJ via Interstate Compact. (As far I know, this means that I have no further legal connection to NY.)
  * I still travel to NY regularly, and stay overnight, as I have family there. Before each overnight trip, I request (and am granted) a travel permit from my NJ probation officer.
  * 4 months after my conviction and subsequent transfer to NJ, my former *NYC* Probation Officer contacted me, stating that the initial DNA sample that she'd taken was unable to be processed by their lab, and that I should come in (to NYC) ASAP to submit a new sample. She also sent a letter to my NJ Probation Officer, making the same request.

  **Question** (detailed version):
  
  
  **Am I obligated to return to NY for another DNA collection? Does NY have any jurisdiction over me now that I've been transferred to NJ?**
  
  
  I acknowledge that I was required to submit the sample initially, which I did. Did my obligation end there, or am I required to resubmit until NY State is satisfied (bearing in mind that I neither reside in or am supervised by NY State)?
  
  
  Thank you!

  Update in response to questions: Let me state that (1) I've already discussed this with my NJ PO (she asked me to go to NY and submit a new sample, though I'm not sure whether she really cares whether I do), and (2) I'm looking for legal facts about my situation (e.g. what I'm legally *required or not required* to do), not advice on what I *should* do.
