AZ SB1295

Amends Arizona law to establish six statutory presumptions of parentage, including marriage to the birth mother, marriage termination within 300 days of birth, post-birth marriage with assertion of parentage, genetic testing results of 95% or higher probability, signed birth certificates by both parents, and notarized statements acknowledging parentage.

Replaces previous genetic testing procedures with new requirements that genetic testing must be performed by accredited laboratories and meet a 99% probability of parentage threshold with a combined relationship index of at least 100 to 1 to establish parentage.

Allows courts to order genetic testing of a child and alleged parent when a request is supported by sworn statement alleging reasonable possibility of parentage or denying it based on factual grounds; allows testing even if the birth mother is unavailable or declines to participate.

Establishes procedures for genetic testing reports to be self-authenticating when proper chain of custody documentation is provided; permits challenged results to be rebutted only by additional genetic testing that excludes the individual or identifies another possible genetic parent.

Creates criminal prohibition against intentionally releasing an identifiable genetic specimen collected for parentage proceedings without court order or written consent, classified as a class 1 misdemeanor.
