Administrative
Order 09-1: Implementation
of a Canyon County
Juvenile Screening Team Pursuant to Idaho
Whereas the Idaho
Supreme Court entered an Order amending Rule 19 of the Idaho Juvenile Rules on
January 28, 2009, providing for the creation of a screening team in juvenile
matters prior to the commitment of a juvenile to the custody of the Department
of Juvenile Corrections, and
Whereas Idaho
Juvenile Rule 19(a) prohibits the commitment of a juvenile to the Department of
Juvenile Corrections unless the court probation officer has convened a
screening team to evaluate alternatives to commitment; and
Whereas, Section
1-907, Idaho Code grants the Administrative District Judge authority over the
operation of the district courts and magistrates within the district, and
Now, therefore, it
is Ordered that:
1) Pursuant to
Idaho Code section 20-523, there is hereby created a Canyon County Juvenile
Screening Team, which shall be convened by an officer of the Canyon County
Probation Department, who shall also be responsible for a written report to the
Court, unless otherwise directed; and
2) The team shall
consist of representatives from the Canyon County Juvenile Probation Office, Idaho
Department of Juvenile Corrections, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare,
the Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney, and the juvenile’s attorney. With
the consent of the Court, in particular cases the team may also include other
persons that the court may deem appropriate, including local school officials
and parents, custodians, or guardians of the juvenile; and
3) The
It Is Hereby
Ordered.
Dated this 5th day of March, 2009.
