On May 29, 2008, Governor Ritter signed SB 08-183, Concerning the Effect of DNA Evidence of Nonparentage on Child-Related Orders, which modifies Colorado's adaptation of the Uniform Parentage Act.

The act changes C.R.S. 19-4-107.3 to provide for an order determining parentage to be set aside if:

1. Genetic testing determines that the named father is not the biological father, and
2. The Court determines that it is just and proper, and in the best interests of the child, to set aside the parenting determination.
