§ 1065. Orders on hearing. (a) If the court determines after hearing

that continued placement serves the purposes of this article, it shall

deny the motion. The court may, on its own motion, determine a schedule

for the return of the child, change the agency or institution in which

the child is placed, or direct the agency or institution to make such

other arrangements for the child's care and welfare as the facts of the

case may require.

(b) If the court determines after hearing that continued placement

does not serve the purposes of this article, the court shall discharge

the child from the custody of the agency or the institution in accord

with section one thousand fifty-four of this article.
