Full text of Vermont Vermont Statutes Online § 604 — Genetic testing results, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 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.)
