IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF ALASKA

                          ORDER NO.1221

                                   Adding Civil Rule 90.4
                                   concerning paternity
                                   proceedings.

IT IS ORDERED:

     The Civil Rules are amended to include new Rule 90.4 to read
as follows:

          Rule 90.4.  Proceedings to Establish Parentage.

               When genetic testing is ordered under AS
          25.20.050, test results must be served on all
          parties to the action at least 20 days prior
          to any hearing or trial at which such results
          may be introduced into evidence.  The test
          results must be accompanied by an affidavit,
          prepared by a qualified person, which
          addresses the qualifications of the affiant
          and the validity of the testing procedures and
          results.  Any objection to the test results
          must be filed and served no later than 10 days
          before the hearing or trial.  If no timely
          objection is filed, the test results are
          admissible as evidence of paternity at the
          hearing or trial without the need for
          foundation testimony or other proof of
          authenticity or accuracy.
