subchapter 4. Revocation of probation is governed by the | procedure contained in subsection 2. Any disposition under | this paragraph is subject to Title 17-A, section 1253, | subsection 2 except that a statement is not required to be | furnished and the day-for-day deduction must be determined by | the facility, but not to Title 17-A, section 1253, subsection | 3-B, 4, 5 or, 8, 9 or 10. For purposes of calculating the | commencement of the period of detention, credit is accorded | only for the portion of the first day for which the juvenile | is actually detained; the juvenile may not be released until | the juvenile has served the full term of hours or days imposed | by the court. Whenever a juvenile is committed for a period | of detention, the court shall determine whether reasonable | efforts have been made to prevent or eliminate the need for | removal of the juvenile from the juvenile's home or that no | reasonable efforts are not necessary because of the existence | of an aggravating factor as defined in Title 22, section 4002, | subsection 1-B and whether continuation in the juvenile's home | would be contrary to the welfare of the juvenile. This | determination does not affect whether the court orders a | commitment for a period of detention. |
