14	Amendment (with title amendment)
15	Between lines 136 and 137, insert:
16	A child ordered committed into a specific low-risk residential
17	program or facility may not be held in secure detention for more
18	than 5 days after the order of commitment, not including
19	Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, while awaiting
20	placement. A child ordered committed to a specific moderate-risk
21	residential program or facility may not be held in secure
22	detention for more than 15 days after the order of commitment,
23	not including Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, while
24	awaiting placement. A child awaiting placement into a specific
25	low-risk or moderate-risk residential program or facility must
26	meet the detention admission criteria provided in s. 985.215. A
27	child ordered committed into a specific high-risk residential or
28	maximum-risk residential program or facility shall be held in
29	secure detention until the placement is accomplished. For a
30	child ordered committed to a high-risk residential or maximum-
31	risk residential program or facility, the department may notify
32	the dispositional judge of alternative placements of the same
33	risk level, as space becomes available, which could be
34	accomplished prior to entry of the child into the court-ordered
35	program or facility. With respect to any court-specified
36	placement, the court may not select a program or facility that
37	is not under contract with the department. If the court finds
38	that the planned vacancies at the program or facility specified
39	by the court are insufficient to allow for the placement of the
40	child within 45 days after the commitment order, the court must
41	select a program or facility of the same commitment risk level
42	from at least three alternative placements provided by the
43	department.
