If any party refuses to submit to genetic SB2507- 18 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1testing, the court may resolve the question of parentage 2paternity against that party or enforce its order if the 3rights of others and the interests of justice so require. 4Genetic testing may not be used to: (1) challenge the 5parentage of a person who is a parent under Article 7 or the 6Gestational Surrogacy Act, inclusive; or (2) establish the 7parentage of a person who is a donor. 8(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.) 9 (750 ILCS 46/402) 10 Sec. 402. Requirements for genetic testing. 11 (a) The genetic testing shall be conducted by an expert 12qualified as an examiner of blood or tissue types and 13appointed by the court. The expert shall determine the genetic 14testing procedures. However, any interested party, for good 15cause shown, in advance of the scheduled genetic testing, may 16request a hearing to object to the qualifications of the 17expert or the genetic testing procedures. The expert appointed 18by the court shall testify at the pre-test hearing at the 19expense of the party requesting the hearing, except for an 20indigent party as provided in Section 405 of this Act. An 21expert not appointed by the court shall testify at the 22pre-test hearing at the expense of the party retaining the 23expert. Inquiry into an expert's qualifications at the 24pre-test hearing shall not affect either party's right to have 25the expert qualified at trial. SB2507- 19 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 (b) Genetic testing must be of a type reasonably relied 2upon by experts in the field of genetic testing and performed 3in a testing laboratory accredited by the American Association 4of Blood Banks or a successor to its functions. 5 (c) A specimen used in genetic testing may consist of one 6or more samples, or a combination of samples, of blood, buccal 7cells, bone, hair, or other body tissue or fluid. 8 (d) The testing laboratory shall determine the databases 9from which to select frequencies for use in calculation of the 10probability of parentage paternity based on the ethnic or 11racial group of an individual or individuals. If there is 12disagreement as to the testing laboratory's choice, the 13following rules apply: 14 (1) The individual objecting may require the testing 15 laboratory, within 30 days after receipt of the report of 16 the genetic testing, to recalculate the probability of 17 parentage paternity using an ethnic or racial group 18 different from that used by the laboratory. 19 (2) The individual objecting to the testing 20 laboratory's initial choice shall: 21 (A) if the frequencies are not available to the 22 testing laboratory for the ethnic or racial group 23 requested, provide the requested frequencies compiled 24 in a manner recognized by accrediting bodies; or 25 (B) engage another testing laboratory to perform 26 the calculations. SB2507- 20 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 (e) If, after recalculation using a different ethnic or 2racial group, genetic testing does not reputably identify a 3person man as the parent father of a child, an individual who 4has been tested may be required to submit to additional 5genetic testing. 6(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.) 7 (750 ILCS 46/403) 8 Sec. 403. Genetic test results. 9 (a) The expert shall prepare a written report of the 10genetic test results. If the genetic test results show that 11the alleged parent father is not excluded, the report shall 12contain statistics based upon the statistical formula of 13combined parentage paternity index (CPI) and the probability 14of parentage paternity as determined by the probability of 15exclusion (Random Person Man Not Excluded = RPNE RMNE). The 16expert may be called by the court as a witness to testify to 17the expert's his or her findings and, if called, shall be 18subject to cross-examination by the parties. If the genetic 19test results show that the alleged parent father is not 20excluded, any party may demand that other experts, qualified 21as examiners of blood or tissue types, perform independent 22genetic testing under order of court, including, but not 23limited to, blood types or other testing of genetic markers. 24The results of the genetic testing may be offered into 25evidence. The number and qualifications of the experts shall SB2507- 21 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1be determined by the court. 2 (b) Documentation of the chain of custody of the blood or 3tissue samples, accompanied by an affidavit or certification 4in accordance with Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil 5Procedure, is competent evidence to establish the chain of 6custody. 7 (c) The report of the genetic test results prepared by the 8appointed expert shall be made by affidavit or by 9certification as provided in Section 1-109 of the Code of 10Civil Procedure and shall be mailed to all parties. A proof of 11service shall be filed with the court. The verified report 12shall be admitted into evidence at trial without foundation 13testimony or other proof of authenticity or accuracy, unless a 14written motion challenging the admissibility of the report is 15filed by either party within 28 days of receipt of the report, 16in which case expert testimony shall be required. A party may 17not file such a motion challenging the admissibility of the 18report later than 28 days before commencement of trial. Before 19trial, the court shall determine whether the motion is 20sufficient to deny admission of the report by verification. 21Failure to make that timely motion constitutes a waiver of the 22right to object to admission by verification and shall not be 23grounds for a continuance of the hearing to establish 24parentage paternity. 25(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.)

Genetic testing taken 3under this Article shall have the following effect: 4 (a) If the court finds that the conclusion of the 5 expert or experts, as disclosed by the evidence based upon 6 the genetic testing, is that the alleged parent father is 7 not the parent of the child, the question of parentage 8 paternity shall be resolved accordingly. 9 (b) If the experts disagree in their findings or 10 conclusions, the question shall be weighed with other 11 competent evidence of parentage paternity. 12 (c) If the genetic testing results indicate that the 13 alleged parent father is not excluded and that the 14 combined parentage paternity index is at least 1,000 to 1, 15 and there is at least a 99.9% probability of parentage 16 paternity, the alleged parent father is presumed to be the 17 parent father, and this evidence shall be admitted. 18 (d) A person man identified under subsection (c) of 19 this Section as the parent father of the child may rebut 20 the genetic testing results by other genetic testing 21 satisfying the requirements of this Article which: 22 (1) excludes the person man as a genetic parent 23 father of the child; or 24 (2) identifies another person man as the possible 25 parent father of the child. 26 (e) Except as otherwise provided in this Article, if SB2507- 23 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 more than one person man is identified by genetic testing 2 as the possible parent father of the child, the court 3 shall order them to submit to further genetic testing to 4 identify the genetic parent father. 5(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.) 6 (750 ILCS 46/405) 7 Sec. 405. Cost of genetic testing. The expense of the 8genetic testing shall be paid by the party who requests the 9genetic testing, except that the court may apportion the costs 10between the parties, upon request. When the genetic testing is 11requested by the party seeking to establish parentage 12paternity and that party is found to be indigent by the court, 13the expense shall be paid by the public agency providing 14representation; except that where a public agency is not 15providing representation, the expense shall be paid by the 16county in which the action is brought. When the genetic 17testing is ordered by the court on its own motion or is 18requested by the alleged or presumed parent father and that 19parent father is found to be indigent by the court, the expense 20shall be paid by the county in which the action is brought. Any 21part of the expense may be taxed as costs in the action, except 22that no costs may be taxed against a public agency that has not 23requested the genetic testing. 24(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.)

Nothing in this 3Article shall prevent a party from obtaining genetic testing 4of the party's his or her own blood or tissue independent of 5those ordered by the court or from presenting expert testimony 6interpreting those tests or any other blood tests ordered 7under this Article. Reports of all the independent tests, 8accompanied by affidavit or certification pursuant to Section 91-109 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and notice of any expert 10witnesses to be called to testify to the results of those tests 11shall be submitted to all parties at least 30 days before any 12hearing set to determine the issue of parentage. 13(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.) 14 (750 ILCS 46/408) 15 Sec. 408. Additional persons to be tested. 16 (a) Subject to subsection (b), if a genetic-testing 17specimen is not available from a person man who may be the 18parent father of a child, for good cause and under 19circumstances the court considers to be just, the court may 20order the following individuals to submit specimens for 21genetic testing: 22 (1) the parents of the person man; 23 (2) brothers and sisters of the person man; 24 (3) other children of the person and the parent who 25 gave birth to the person man and their mothers; and SB2507- 25 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 (4) other relatives of the person man necessary to 2 complete genetic testing. 3 (b) Issuance of an order under this Section requires a 4finding that a need for genetic testing outweighs the 5legitimate interests of the individual sought to be tested, 6and in no event shall an order be issued until the individual 7is joined as a party and given notice as required under the 8Code of Civil Procedure. 9(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16.) 10 (750 ILCS 46/501) 11 Sec. 501. Temporary orders. 12 (a) On a motion by a party and a showing of clear and 13convincing evidence of parentage, the court shall issue a 14temporary order for support of a child, including a non-minor 15child with a disability, if the order is appropriate and the 16individual ordered to pay support is: 17 (1) a presumed parent of the child; 18 (2) petitioning to have parentage adjudicated; 19 (3) identified as the parent father through genetic 20 testing under Article 4 of this Act; 21 (4) an alleged parent father who has declined to 22 submit to genetic testing; 23 (5) shown by clear and convincing evidence to be the 24 child's parent father; 25 (6) the parent who gave birth to mother of the child SB2507- 26 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 except under the Gestational Surrogacy Act; or 2 (7) anyone else determined to be the child's parent. 3 In determining the amount of a temporary child support 4award, the court shall use the guidelines and standards set 5forth in Sections 505, 505.2, and 513.5 of the Illinois 6Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. 7 (b) A temporary order may include provisions for the 8allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time as 9provided by the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage 10Act.

Factors in adjudicating parentage Authority to 11deny motion for genetic testing. 12 (a) Consistent with Sections 205, 309, 608, and 609, in 13cases in which there are competing claims to parentage and in 14proceedings In a proceeding in which the parentage of a child 15having a presumed, acknowledged, or adjudicated parent is at 16issue, the court shall consider the following factors when 17adjudicating the individual's parentage may deny a motion by a 18parent, presumed parent, acknowledged parent, adjudicated 19parent, alleged parent, or the child seeking an order for 20genetic testing of the parents and child if the court 21determines that: 22 (1) whether the conduct of the parent, acknowledged 23 parent, adjudicated parent, or the presumed parent estops 24 that party from denying parentage; 25 (2) whether it would be inequitable to disprove the SB2507- 39 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 parent-child relationship between the child and the 2 presumed, acknowledged, or adjudicated parent; and 3 (3) it is in the child's best interests to adjudicate 4 the individual to be the child's parent, to deny genetic 5 testing, taking into account the following factors: 6 (A) the length of time between the current 7 proceeding to adjudicate parentage and the time that 8 the presumed, acknowledged, or adjudicated parent was 9 placed on notice that this parent he or she might not 10 be the biological parent; 11 (B) the length of time during which the presumed, 12 acknowledged, or adjudicated parent has assumed the 13 role of parent of the child; 14 (C) the facts surrounding the presumed, 15 acknowledged, or adjudicated parent's discovery of his 16 or her possible non-parentage nonparentage; 17 (D) the nature of the relationship between the 18 child and the presumed, acknowledged, or adjudicated 19 parent; 20 (E) the age of the child; 21 (F) the harm that may result to the child if the 22 presumed, acknowledged, or adjudicated parentage is 23 successfully disproved; 24 (G) the nature of the relationship between the 25 child and any alleged parent; 26 (H) the extent to which the passage of time SB2507- 40 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1 reduces the chances of establishing the parentage of 2 another person and a child support obligation in favor 3 of the child; 4 (I) other factors that may affect the equities 5 arising from the disruption of the parent-child 6 relationship between the child and the presumed, 7 acknowledged, or adjudicated parent or the chance of 8 other harm to the child; and 9 (J) any other factors the court determines to be 10 equitable. 11 (b) Consistent with the establishment of parentage 12 under this Act, a court may determine that a child has more 13 than 2 parents if the court finds that it is in the best 14 interests of the child to do so. A finding of best 15 interests of the child under this subsection does not 16 require a finding of unfitness of any parent or person 17 seeking an adjudication of parentage. A determination of 18 best interests may include consideration of evidence of 19 prebirth intent to parent the child. 20 (c) (b) In a proceeding involving the application of this 21Section, a minor or incapacitated child must be represented by 22a guardian ad litem, child's representative, or attorney for 23the child. It shall be presumed to be equitable and in the best 24interests of the child to grant a motion by the child seeking 25an order for genetic testing. The presumption may be overcome 26by clear and convincing evidence that extraordinary SB2507- 41 -LRB104 08910 JRC 18965 b 1circumstances exist making the genetic testing contrary to the 2child's best interests. The court's order denying a child's 3request for genetic testing must state the basis for the 4denial upon which the presumption was overcome. The court's 5order granting a child's request for genetic testing must 6specify the ways in which the testing results may be used for 7purposes of protecting the child's best interests. 8 (d) (Blank). (c) If the court denies a motion seeking an 9order for genetic testing, it shall issue an order 10adjudicating the presumed parent to be the parent of the 11child. 12(Source: P.A. 99-85, eff. 1-1-16; 99-769, eff. 1-1-17.) 13 (750 ILCS 46/612) 14 Sec. 612.
