A restrictiveness level classification scale for 15 levels of supervision shall be provided by the department, 16 taking into account the child's needs and risks relative to 17 probation supervision requirements to reasonably ensure the 18 public safety.

The 12 court may allow early termination of probation for a child who 13 has substantially complied with the terms and conditions of 14 probation. 15 c. If the conditions of the probation program or the 16 postcommitment probation program are violated, the department 17 or the state attorney may bring the child before the court on 18 a petition alleging a violation of the program. Any child who 19 violates the conditions of probation or postcommitment 20 probation must be brought before the court if sanctions are 21 sought. A child taken into custody under s. 985.207 for 22 violating the conditions of probation or postcommitment 23 probation shall be held in a consequence unit if such a unit 24 is available. The child shall be afforded a hearing within 24 25 hours after being taken into custody to determine the 26 existence of probable cause that the child violated the 27 conditions of probation or postcommitment probation. A 28 consequence unit is a secure facility specifically designated 29 by the department for children who are taken into custody 30 under s. 985.207 for violating probation or postcommitment 31 probation, or who have been found by the court to have 11 File original & 9 copies 03/21/01 hei0002 04:30 pm 00267-ge -201209

If the violation involves a new charge of 3 delinquency, the child may be detained under s. 985.215 in a 4 facility other than a consequence unit. If the child is not 5 eligible for detention for the new charge of delinquency, the 6 child may be held in the consequence unit pending a hearing 7 and is subject to the time limitations specified in s. 8 985.215. If the child denies violating the conditions of 9 probation or postcommitment probation, the court shall appoint 10 counsel to represent the child at the child's request. Upon 11 the child's admission, or if the court finds after a hearing 12 that the child has violated the conditions of probation or 13 postcommitment probation, the court shall enter an order 14 revoking, modifying, or continuing probation or postcommitment 15 probation. In each such case, the court shall enter a new 16 disposition order and, in addition to the sanctions set forth 17 in this paragraph, may impose any sanction the court could 18 have imposed at the original disposition hearing. If the child 19 is found to have violated the conditions of probation or 20 postcommitment probation, the court may: 21 (I) Place the child in a consequence unit in that 22 judicial circuit, if available, for up to 5 days for a first 23 violation, and up to 15 days for a second or subsequent 24 violation. 25 (II) Place the child on home detention with electronic 26 monitoring. However, this sanction may be used only if a 27 residential consequence unit is not available. 28 (III) Modify or continue the child's probation program 29 or postcommitment probation program. 30 (IV) Revoke probation or postcommitment probation and 31 commit the child to the department. 12 File original & 9 copies 03/21/01 hei0002 04:30 pm 00267-ge -201209

Commit the child to the Department of Juvenile 11 Justice at a restrictiveness residential commitment level 12 defined in s. 985.03. Such commitment must be for the purpose 13 of exercising active control over the child, including, but 14 not limited to, custody, care, training, urine monitoring, and 15 treatment of the child and release of the child into the 16 community in a postcommitment nonresidential conditional 17 release program. If the child may be required to attend 18 school pursuant to chapter 232 following residential 19 commitment and the court finds that at the time of the 20 offense, the victim or a sibling of the victim, in the case 21 was assigned to attend the same school as the child, the 22 commitment order shall include a finding pursuant to the 23 proceedings described in s. 985.23(1)(d). If the child is not 24 successful in the conditional release program, the department 25 may use the transfer procedure under s. 985.404. 26 Notwithstanding s. 743.07 and paragraph (d), and except as 27 provided in s. 985.31, the term of the commitment must be 28 until the child is discharged by the department or until he or 29 she reaches the age of 21. 30 4.

As part of the probation program to be implemented 6 by the Department of Juvenile Justice, or, in the case of a 7 committed child, as part of the community-based sanctions 8 ordered by the court at the disposition hearing or before the 9 child's release from commitment, order the child to make 10 restitution in money, through a promissory note cosigned by 11 the child's parent or guardian, or in kind for any damage or 12 loss caused by the child's offense in a reasonable amount or 13 manner to be determined by the court. The clerk of the circuit 14 court shall be the receiving and dispensing agent. In such 15 case, the court shall order the child or the child's parent or 16 guardian to pay to the office of the clerk of the circuit 17 court an amount not to exceed the actual cost incurred by the 18 clerk as a result of receiving and dispensing restitution 19 payments. The clerk shall notify the court if restitution is 20 not made, and the court shall take any further action that is 21 necessary against the child or the child's parent or guardian. 22 A finding by the court, after a hearing, that the parent or 23 guardian has made diligent and good faith efforts to prevent 24 the child from engaging in delinquent acts absolves the parent 25 or guardian of liability for restitution under this 26 subparagraph. 27 7. Order the child and, if the court finds it 28 appropriate, the child's parent or guardian together with the 29 child, to participate in a community work project, either as 30 an alternative to monetary restitution or as part of the 31 rehabilitative or probation program. 14 File original & 9 copies 03/21/01 hei0002 04:30 pm 00267-ge -201209
