§ 1053. Suspended judgment. (a) Rules of court shall define

permissible terms and conditions of a suspended judgment. These terms

and conditions shall relate to the acts or omissions of the parent or

other person legally responsible for the care of the child.

(b) The maximum duration of any term or condition of a suspended

judgment is one year, unless the court finds at the conclusion of that

period, upon a hearing, that exceptional circumstances require an

extension thereof for an additional year.

(c) Except as provided for herein, in any order issued pursuant to

this section, the court may require the child protective agency to make

progress reports to the court, the parties, and the child's attorney on

the implementation of such order. Where the order of disposition is

issued upon the consent of the parties and the child's attorney, such

agency shall report to the court, the parties and the child's attorney

no later than ninety days after the issuance of the order, unless the

court determines that the facts and circumstances of the case do not

require such report to be made.
