HB 2052 - H AMD 361

By Representative Ahern

   On page 2, beginning on line 29, strike all of subsection (6) and insert the following:

   "(6) The prosecuting attorney, upon request by the juvenile court probation officer, may move the court to modify the terms of the order of the disposition, whether or not the respondent has violated any terms of the order of disposition. The court may modify the order of disposition for good cause shown, so long as the modification does not result in any increased sanction or penalty. In determining whether good cause exists, the court shall consider the best interests of the respondent, the victim, and the community. Notice of the motion must be sent to the victim if the victim's contact information is available."

EFFECT: Restricts who may move to modify the order of disposition to only the prosecuting attorney upon request by the juvenile court probation officer.

Requires the best interests of the victim to be considered by the court before the disposition may be modified.

Requires notice of the motion to be sent to the victim if the victim's contact information is available.
