The results of the tests required pursuant to section 1558 are
evidence to be used in determining paternity as follows.
1. Effect of results.
A. If the court finds that the conclusion of all the experts,
as disclosed by the evidence based upon the tests, is that the
alleged father is not the parent of the child, the question of
paternity must be resolved accordingly.
B. If the experts disagree in their findings or conclusions,
the question must be submitted upon all the evidence.
C. If the experts conclude that the blood or tissue tests
show that the alleged father is not excluded and that the
probability of the alleged father's paternity is less than 97%,
this evidence must be admitted by the court and weighed with
other competent evidence of paternity.
D. If the experts conclude that the blood or tissue tests
show that the alleged father is not excluded and that the
probability of the alleged father's paternity is 97% or
higher, the alleged father is presumed to be the father, and
this evidence must be admitted.
The court shall admit as evidence the results of any genetic
test that is of a type generally acknowledged as reliable by
accreditation bodies designated by the federal Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services and performed by a
laboratory approved by such an accredited body.
