HB 344 amends Code Section 19-7-54 of
the OCGA by revising subsection (d), allowing for a party who is involved in
the Department of Human Services’ (DHS) enforcement to request a genetic test
from the DHS. The Department of Human Services can deny the request if the
paternity test was previously completed, the child has been adopted by the
requester or member of DHS, the child was born of artificial insemination, or
if the DHS had previously offered genetic testing. |
