(1) To order genetic testing for purposes of paternity establishment;

(2) To administratively subpoena any financial or other information needed by the department to establish, modify, or enforce a child support order.

Any person or entity who intentionally fails to respond to a subpoena issued by the department pursuant to this section commits a petty offense.
