Item 1

 
3. Center services. The commissioner shall provide aftercare
community reintegration services to juvenile clients.

 
4. Cancellation. If the commissioner is satisfied at any time
that the welfare of the juvenile client will be promoted by
return to the facility, the commissioner may cancel the aftercare
community reintegration status and resume charge of the client
with the same powers as before the placement on aftercare
community reintegration status was made.

 
Sec. 17. 34-A MRSA §3811, first ¶, as amended by PL 1999, c. 583, §35,
is further amended to read:

 
When a juvenile client who has been placed on aftercare
community reintegration status, who has been granted a furlough
or work or education release or who has been absent from the
facility without leave is taken into custody for the purpose of
return to the facility by an officer or employee of the facility,
at the direction of the commissioner, or by a law enforcement
officer, at the request of the commissioner, and because of the
juvenile client's distance from the facility at the time of being
taken into custody, it becomes necessary to detain the client
overnight:

 
Sec. 18. 34-A MRSA §4102, sub-§1, as amended by PL 1997, c. 752, §41,
is further amended to read:

 
1. Detention. To detain juveniles pending a court proceeding
or pending a preliminary hearing under Title 17-A, section 1205;

 
Sec. 19. 34-A MRSA §4111, sub-§3, as enacted by PL 2001, c. 517, §2,
is amended to read:

 
3. Psychiatric hospitalization. The commissioner has all the
power over a juvenile client that a guardian has over a ward and
that a parent has over a child with regard to necessary
psychiatric hospitalization, including hospitalization in a
nonstate mental health institution or hospital for the mentally
ill. If a juvenile client is or becomes 18 years of age while
still under commitment, the statutory guardianship of the
commissioner over the juvenile client terminates, but the
juvenile client remains subject to the control of the
commissioner and staff and rules of the facility until the
expiration of the period of commitment or until discharge from
the facility. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to
override the requirement to make application for psychiatric
hospitalization in accordance with Title 34-B, section 3863,
unless hospitalization is made with the juvenile client's consent
in accordance with Title 34-B, section 3831. The commissioner
