HRS §844D-131
Court's extra powers in DNA testing cases
This section lets the court make other orders it thinks are right in a DNA testing case. It can choose the type of test, how it is done, keep part of the sample, order more tests, or test other people to rule them out. DNA results from these samples are kept private.
