Rule 30-10. Orders of a Judicial Authority after Initial Detention Hearing

(a) At the conclusion of the initial detention hearing, the judicial authority shall issue an order for detention on finding probable cause to believe that the child or youth has committed a delinquent act and that at least one of the factors outlined in Section 30-6 applies to the child or youth.

(b) If the child or youth is placed in a juvenile residential center, such order for detention shall be for a period not to exceed seven days, including the date of admission, or until the dispositional hearing is held, whichever is the shorter period, unless, following a further detention review hearing, the order is renewed for a period that does not exceed seven days or until the dispositional hearing is held, whichever is shorter. Such detention review hearing may not be waived.

(c) If the child or youth is not placed in a juvenile residential center but released on a suspended order of detention on conditions, such suspended order of detention shall continue to the dispositional hearing or until further order of the judicial authority. Said suspended order of detention may be reviewed by the judicial authority every seven days. Upon a finding of probable cause that the child or youth has violated any condition, a judicial authority may issue a take into custody order or order such child or youth to appear in court for a hearing on revocation of the suspended order of detention. Such an order to appear shall be served upon the child or youth in accordance with General Statutes § 46b-128 (b), or, if the child or youth is represented, by serving the order to appear upon the child's or youth's counsel, who shall notify the child or youth of the order and the hearing date. After a hearing and upon a finding that the child or youth has violated reasonable conditions imposed on release, the judicial authority may impose different or additional conditions of release or may remand the child or youth to a juvenile residential center.

(d) In conjunction with any order of release from a juvenile residential center, the judicial authority may, in accordance with General Statutes § 46b133 (g), order the child or youth to participate in a program of periodic alcohol or drug testing and treatment as a condition of such release. The results of any such alcohol or drug test shall be admissible only for the purposes of enforcing the conditions of release from a juvenile residential center.
