(a) an acknowledgment of paternity of a child, as provided for in article five-B or section five hundred sixteen-a of the family court act, by a written statement, witnessed by two people not related to the signator or as provided for in section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public health law. Prior to the execution of such acknowledgment by the child's mother and the respondent, they shall be advised, orally, which may be through the use of audio or video equipment, and in writing, of the consequences of making such an acknowledgment. Upon the signing of an acknowledgment of paternity pursuant to this section, the social services official or his or her representative shall file the original acknowledgment with the registrar.

(b) an agreement to make support payments as provided in section four hundred twenty-five of the family court act. Prior to the execution of such agreement, the respondent shall be advised, orally, which may be through the use of audio or video equipment, and in writing, of the consequences of such agreement, that the respondent can be held liable for support only if the family court, after a hearing, makes an order of support; that respondent has a right to consult with an attorney and that the agreement will be submitted to the family court for approval pursuant to section four hundred twenty-five of the family court act; and that by executing the agreement, the respondent waives any right to a hearing regarding any matter contained in such agreement. 2. (a) When the paternity of a child is contested, a social services official or designated representative may order the mother, the child, and the alleged father to submit to one or more genetic marker or DNA tests of a type generally acknowledged as reliable by an accreditation body designated by the secretary of the federal department of health and human services and performed by a laboratory approved by such an accreditation body and by the commissioner of health or by a duly qualified physician to aid in the determination of whether or not the alleged father is the father of the child. The order may be issued prior or subsequent to the filing of a petition with the court to establish paternity, shall be served on the parties by certified mail, and shall include a sworn statement which either (i) alleges paternity and sets forth facts establishing a reasonable possibility of the requisite sexual contact between the parties, or (ii) denies paternity and sets forth facts establishing a reasonable possibility that the party is not the father. The parties shall not be required to submit to the administration and analysis of such tests if they sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity in accordance with paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section, or if there has been a written finding by the court that it is not in the best interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel or the presumption of legitimacy of a child born to a married woman.

(b) The record or report of the results of any such genetic marker or DNA test may be submitted to the family court as evidence pursuant to subdivision (e) of rule forty-five hundred eighteen of the civil practice law and rules where no timely objection in writing has been made thereto.

(c) The cost of any test ordered pursuant to this section shall be paid by the social services district provided however, that the alleged father shall reimburse the district for the cost of such test at such time as the alleged father's paternity is established by a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or an order of filiation. If either party contests the results of genetic marker or DNA tests, an additional test may be ordered upon written request to the social services district and advance payment by the requesting party.

(d) The parties shall be required to submit to such tests and appear at any conference scheduled by the social services official or designee to discuss the notice of the allegation of paternity or to discuss the results of such tests. If the alleged father fails to appear at any such conference or fails to submit to such genetic marker or DNA tests, the social services official or designee shall petition the court to establish paternity, provide the court with a copy of the records or reports of such tests if any, and request the court to issue an order for temporary support pursuant to section five hundred forty-two of the family court act.
