(750 ILCS 46/615)
    Sec. 615. Consequences of declining genetic testing.
    (a) Subject to the limitations of Section 401, an order for genetic testing is enforceable through a proceeding for adjudication of contempt.
    (b) If an individual whose parentage is being determined declines to submit to genetic testing ordered by the court or administrative agency, the court or administrative agency may adjudicate parentage contrary to the position of that individual.
    (c) Genetic testing of the woman or person who gave birth to the child is not a condition precedent to genetically testing the child and a person whose parentage is being determined. If the woman or person who gave birth to the child is unavailable or declines to submit to genetic testing, the court or administrative agency may order the genetic testing of the child and every person whose parentage is being adjudicated.
