The court, upon its own initiative or upon suggestion made by or on behalf of a person whose blood or tissue is involved or the mother, may order or, upon motion of a party to the action made at a time so as not to delay the proceedings unduly, shall order the mother, child and alleged father to submit to blood or tissue typing tests, which may include, but are not limited to, tests of red cell antigens, red cell isoenzymes, human leukocyte antigens and serum proteins. If a party refuses to submit to those tests, the court may resolve the question of paternity against that party or may enforce the order, if the rights of others and the interests of justice so require.
