Chapter 6 - Genetic Parentage
§ 604. Genetic testing results

§ 604. Genetic testing results
(a) A person shall be identified as a genetic parent of a child if the genetic testing of the person complies with this chapter and the results of testing disclose that the individual has at least a 99 percent probability of parentage as determined by the testing laboratory.
(b) Identification of a genetic parent through genetic testing does not establish parentage absent adjudication under this chapter and a court may rely on nongenetic evidence to determine parentage, including parentage by acknowledgment pursuant to chapter 3 of this title or by admission pursuant to section 112 of this title, presumed parentage under chapter 4 of this title, de facto parentage under chapter 5 of this title, and parentage by intended parents under chapter 7 or 8 of this title.
(c) A person identified under subsection (a) of this section as a genetic parent of a child may rebut the genetic testing results only by other genetic testing satisfying the requirements of this chapter that:
(1) excludes the person as a genetic parent of the child; or
(2) identifies a person other than the person who gave birth to the child as a possible genetic parent of the child. (Added 2017, No. 162 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
