So if a “victim” of rape has their DNA put into the criminal database, and later that same DNA matches that obtained from a homicide crime scene, then the “victim” can’t be charged based on the DNA evidence?
Why?

IS that really how the potential law is written?
If you’re a serial rapist, then all you have to do is claim you were rapped and submit your DNA at a rape clinic, and you’re forever protected from DNA evidence prosecution
That's how I read it:
Senate Bill 1228 was sponsored by Sen. Scott Wiener to ensure that a sexual assault victims’ DNA could not be used against them in the future. The bill would prohibit the DNA profiles collected from victims of sexual assault – including rape kits – to be used for any other purpose than identifying the perpetrator of the crime
