Genetic testing when specimens not available

PL 2015, c. 296, Pt

1. Specimen not available; submission of specimens. Subject to subsection 2, if a genetic testing specimen is not available from a person who may be the genetic father or genetic mother of a child, for good cause and under circumstances the court considers to be just, the court may order the following individuals to submit specimens for genetic testing:

A. The parents of the person;

B. Brothers and sisters of the person;

C. Other children of the person and their mothers; and

D. Relatives of the person necessary to complete genetic testing.

2. Finding required. Issuance of an order under this section requires a finding that a need for genetic testing outweighs the legitimate interests of the individual sought to be tested.
