( 15-11-70)
Except as otherwise provided by law, an order of disposition
committing a delinquent or unruly child to the Department of
Juvenile Justice continues in force for two years or until the child
is sooner discharged by the Department of Juvenile Justice. The
court which made the order may extend its duration for an additional
two years subject to like discharge, if: (1) A hearing is held upon motion of the Department of Juvenile
Justice prior to the expiration of the order; (2) Reasonable notice of the factual basis of the motion and of
the hearing and an opportunity to be heard are given to the child
and the parent, guardian, or other custodian; and (3) The court finds that the extension is necessary for the
treatment or rehabilitation of the child. |
