Propose a change

Title 14 Children

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

As published

14-2-702. Order for testing.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this article and article 8 of this act, the court shall order the child and other designated individuals to submit to genetic testing if the request for testing is supported by the sworn statement of a party to the proceeding: (i) Alleging paternity and stating facts establishing a reasonable probability of the requisite sexual contact between the individuals; or (ii) Denying paternity and stating facts establishing a possibility that sexual contact between the individuals, if any, did not result in the conception of the child. (b) A child support enforcement agency may order genetic testing only if there is no presumed, acknowledged or adjudicated father. (c) If a request for genetic testing of a child is made before birth, the court or child support enforcement agency may not order in-utero testing. (d) If two (2) or more men are subject to court-ordered genetic testing, the testing may be ordered concurrently or sequentially.

Title

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Why

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
