progress reports and hearings.

A. The court shall make all judicial decisions concerning any

case assigned to the juvenile drug court docket or program. The

court shall require progress reports and a periodic review of each

juvenile during their period of participation in the drug court

program or for purposes of collecting costs and fees after

completion of the treatment portion of the program. Reports from

the treatment providers and the supervising staff shall be presented

to the court as specified by the treatment plan or as ordered by the

court.

B. The court may establish a regular schedule for progress

hearings for any juvenile in the drug court program. The district

attorney shall not be required to attend regular progress hearings,

but shall be required to be present upon the motion of any party to

a drug court case.

C. The treatment provider, the supervising staff, the district

attorney, and the attorney for the juvenile shall be allowed access

to all information in the drug court case file of the juvenile and

all information presented to the court at any periodic review or

progress hearing.

D. 1. The court shall recognize relapses and restarts in the

program which are considered to be part of the rehabilitation and

recovery process.

2. The court shall order progressively increasing sanctions or

provide incentives, rather than removing the juvenile from the

program when relapse occurs, except when the conduct of the juvenile

requires removal from the program.

3. Any removal from the drug court program shall require notice

to the juvenile and the person responsible for the health or welfare

of the juvenile, as defined in Section 2-1-103 of this title, and

other participating parties in the case and a hearing.

4. At the hearing, if the juvenile is found to have violated

the conditions of the treatment plan and disciplinary sanctions have

been insufficient to gain compliance, the juvenile shall be removed

from the program, returned to the regular juvenile court docket and

set for redisposition.

E. Upon application of any participating party to a drug court

case, the court may modify a treatment plan at any hearing when it

is determined that the treatment is not beneficial to the juvenile.

The primary objective of the court in monitoring the progress of the

juvenile and the treatment plan shall be to keep the juvenile in

treatment for a sufficient time to change behaviors and attitudes.

Modification of the treatment plan requires a consultation with the

treatment provider, supervising staff, district attorney, and the

attorney of the juvenile in open court.

F. The court shall be authorized to modify the responsibilities

of any person responsible for the health and welfare of the

juvenile, as defined in Section 2-1-103 of this title, for

noncompliance with any condition established by the court. The

court is also authorized to sanction the person responsible for the

health and welfare of the juvenile or any adult residing with the

juvenile, for noncompliance of such person with any condition

established in the court.
