§ 5263. Juvenile probation certificate
(a) When a juvenile is placed on probation, the court shall issue a written juvenile probation
certificate setting forth:

(2) the nature of the delinquent act committed by the juvenile;
(3) the date and place of the juvenile delinquency hearing;
(4) the order of the court placing the juvenile on probation; and
(5) the conditions of the juvenile’s probation.
(b) The juvenile probation certificate shall be furnished to and signed by the juvenile
and a custodial parent, guardian, or custodian of the child, if other than parent.
It shall be fully explained to them, and they shall be informed about the consequences
of violating the conditions of probation, including the possibility of revocation
of probation. A copy of the juvenile probation certificate shall also be furnished
to the Commissioner. The probation certificate is not invalidated if it is not signed
as required by this subsection.
(c) The signature of a custodial parent, guardian, or custodian on a probation certificate
shall constitute verification that the parent, guardian, or custodian understands
the terms of juvenile probation and agrees to facilitate and support the child’s compliance
with such terms and to attend treatment programs with the child as recommended by
the treatment provider.
(d) The juvenile probation certificate shall be full authority for the exercise by the
Commissioner of all the rights and powers over and in relation to the juvenile prescribed
by law and by the order of the court. (Added 2007, No. 185 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. Jan. 1, 2009.)
