1 (d) If the
respondent fails to appear for hearing on a motion as es-
2 tablished in subsection (a) after
having been properly served with notice
3 of the hearing, the court may hear
and determine the motion in the

10 (e) In determining
whether or not prosecution as an adult should be
11 authorized or designating the proceeding as
an extended jurisdiction ju-
12 venile prosecution, the court shall
consider each of the following factors:
13 (1) The seriousness of the alleged offense
and whether the protection of
14 the community requires prosecution as an
adult or designating the pro-
15 ceeding as an extended jurisdiction
juvenile prosecution; (2) whether the
16 alleged offense was committed in an
aggressive, violent, premeditated or
17 willful manner; (3) whether the offense was
against a person or against
18 property,. Greater
weight being shall be given to offenses
against persons,
19 especially if personal injury resulted; (4)
the number of alleged offenses
20 unadjudicated and pending against the
respondent; (5) the previous his-
21 tory of the respondent, including whether
the respondent had been ad-
22 judicated a juvenile offender under this
code and, if so, whether the
23 offenses were against persons or property,
and any other previous history
24 of antisocial behavior or patterns of
physical violence; (6) the sophistica-
25 tion or maturity of the respondent as
determined by consideration of the
26 respondent's home, environment, emotional
attitude, pattern of living or
27 desire to be treated as an adult; (7)
whether there are facilities or pro-
28 grams available to the court which are
likely to rehabilitate the respondent
29 prior to the expiration of the court's
jurisdiction under this code; and (8)
30 whether the interests of the respondent or
of the community would be
31 better served by criminal prosecution or
extended jurisdiction juvenile
32 prosecution. The insufficiency of evidence
pertaining to any one or more
33 of the factors listed in this subsection
shall not, in and of itself, shall
not
34 be determinative of the issue. Subject to
the provisions of K.S.A. 38-1653,
35 and amendments thereto, written reports and
other materials relating to
36 the respondent's mental, physical,
educational and social history may be
37 considered by the court.
38 (f) (1) The court
may authorize prosecution as an adult upon com-
39 pletion of the hearing if the court finds
that there is substantial evidence
40 that the respondent should be prosecuted as
an adult for the offense with
41 which the respondent is charged. In that
case, the court shall direct the
42 respondent be prosecuted under the
applicable criminal statute and that
43 the proceedings filed under this code be
dismissed.
Sub. SB 682

1 (2) The court may
designate the proceeding as an extended jurisdic-
2 tion juvenile prosecution upon
completion of the hearing if the respon-
3 dent has failed to rebut the
presumption or the court finds that there is
4 substantial evidence that the
respondent should be prosecuted under an
5 extended jurisdiction juvenile
prosecution. A juvenile who is the subject
6 of an extended jurisdiction juvenile
prosecution shall have the right to a
7 trial by jury, to the effective
assistance of counsel and to all other rights
8 of a defendant pursuant to the Kansas
code of criminal procedure. On or
9 before March 31,
1998, Each court shall adopt local rules to establish
the
10 basic procedures for extended juvenile
jurisdiction prosecution in their
11 jurisdictions.
12 (3) After a proceeding
in which prosecution as an adult is requested
13 pursuant to subsection (a)(2), and
prosecution as an adult is not author-
14 ized, the court may designate the
proceedings to be an extended juvenile
15 jurisdiction prosecution. A juvenile who is
the subject of an extended
16 juvenile jurisdiction prosecution shall
have the right to a trial by jury, to
17 the effective assistance of counsel and to
all other rights of a defendant
18 pursuant to the Kansas code of criminal
procedure. On or before March
19 31, 1998, Each court shall
adopt local rules to establish the basic proce-
20 dures for extended juvenile jurisdiction
prosecution in their jurisdictions.
21 (g) If the respondent is
present in court and the court also finds from
22 the evidence that it appears a felony has
been committed and that there
23 is probable cause to believe the felony has
been committed by the re-
24 spondent, the court may direct that there
is no necessity for further pre-
25 liminary examination on the charges as
provided for in K.S.A. 22-2902,
26 and amendments thereto. In that case, the
court shall order the respon-
27 dent bound over to the district judge
having jurisdiction to try the case.
28 (h) If the respondent is
convicted, the authorization for prosecution
29 as an adult shall attach and apply to any
future acts by the respondent
30 which are or would be cognizable under this
code.
31 (i) If the respondent is
prosecuted as an adult under subsection (a)(2)
32 and is not convicted in adult court of an
offense listed in subsection (a)(2)
33 but is convicted or adjudicated of a
lessor included offense, the respondent
34 shall be a juvenile offender and receive a
sentence pursuant to K.S.A. 38-
35 1663, and amendments thereto.

39 motor vehicle on the streets and highways
of this state. The duration of
40 the suspension ordered by the court shall
be for a definite time period to
41 be determined by the court. Upon suspension
of a license pursuant to
42 this subsection, the court shall require
the juvenile offender to surrender
43 the license to the court,
which. The court shall transmit the license to
the
Sub. SB 682
10
1 division of motor vehicles of the
department of revenue, to be retained
2 until the period of suspension
expires. At that time, the licensee may apply
3 to the division for return of the
license. If the license has expired, the
4 juvenile offender may apply for a new
license, which shall be issued
5 promptly upon payment of the proper
fee and satisfaction of other con-
6 ditions established by law for
obtaining a license unless another suspen-
7 sion or revocation of the juvenile
offender's privilege to operate a motor
8 vehicle is in effect. As used in this
subsection, ``highway'' and ``street''
9 have the meanings provided by K.S.A.
8-1424 and 8-1473, and amend-
10 ments thereto. Any respondent who is
adjudged adjudicated to be a ju-
11 venile offender who does not have a
driver's license may have such ju-
12 venile offender's driving privileges
revoked. No Kansas driver's license
13 shall be issued to a juvenile offender
whose driving privileges have been
14 revoked pursuant to this section for a
definite time period to be deter-
15 mined by the court.
16 (2) In lieu of
suspending the driver's license or privilege to operate
17 a motor vehicle on the highways of this
state of any respondent adjudged
18 adjudicated to be a juvenile
offender, as provided in subsection (c)(1),
19 the court in which such juvenile offender
was adjudged adjudicated to
20 be a juvenile offender may enter an order
which places conditions on
21 such juvenile offender's privilege of
operating a motor vehicle on the
22 streets and highways of this state,
a certified copy of which such juvenile
23 offender shall be required to carry any
time such juvenile offender is
24 operating a motor vehicle on the streets
and highways of this state. Any
25 such order shall prescribe the duration of
the conditions imposed and
26 shall specify that such duration shall be
for a definite time period to be
27 determined by the court. Upon entering an
order restricting a juvenile
28 offender's license hereunder, the court
shall require such juvenile of-
29 fender to surrender such juvenile
offender's driver's license to the court
30 who shall cause it to be
transmitted. The court shall transmit the
license
31 to the division of vehicles, together with
a copy of the order. Upon receipt
32 thereof, the division of vehicles shall
issue without charge a driver's li-
33 cense which shall indicate on its face that
conditions have been imposed
34 on such juvenile offender's privilege of
operating a motor vehicle and that
35 a certified copy of the order imposing such
conditions is required to be
36 carried by the juvenile offender for whom
the license was issued any time
37 such juvenile offender is operating a motor
vehicle on the streets and
38 highways of this state. If the juvenile
offender convicted is a nonresident,
39 the court shall cause a copy of the order
to be transmitted to the division
40 and the division shall forward a copy of it
to the motor vehicle adminis-
41 trator of such juvenile offender's state of
residence. Such court shall fur-
42 nish to any juvenile offender whose
driver's license has had conditions
43 imposed on it under this section a copy of
the order, which shall be
Sub. SB 682
11
1 recognized as a valid Kansas driver's
license until such time as the division
2 shall issue the restricted license
provided for in this subsection. Upon
3 expiration of the period of time for
which conditions are imposed pur-
4 suant to this subsection, the
licensee may apply to the division for the
5 return of the license previously
surrendered by such licensee. In the event
6 such license has expired, such
juvenile offender may apply to the division
7 for a new license, which shall be
issued immediately by the division upon
8 payment of the proper fee and
satisfaction of the other conditions estab-
9 lished by law, unless such juvenile
offender's privilege to operate a motor
10 vehicle on the streets and highways
of this state has been suspended or
11 revoked prior thereto. If any juvenile
offender shall violate any of the
12 conditions imposed under this subsection,
such juvenile offender's
13 driver's license or privilege to operate a
motor vehicle on the streets and
14 highways of this state shall be revoked for
a period as determined by the
15 court in which such juvenile offender is
convicted of violating such con-
16 ditions.
17 (d) Whenever a juvenile
offender is placed pursuant to subsection
18 (a)(1) or (2), the court, unless it finds
compelling circumstances which
19 would render a plan of restitution
unworkable, shall order the juvenile
20 offender to make restitution to persons who
sustained loss by reason of
21 the offense. The restitution shall be made
either by payment of an amount
22 fixed by the court or by working for the
persons in order to compensate
23 for the loss. If the court finds compelling
circumstances which would
24 render a plan of restitution unworkable,
the court may order the juvenile
25 offender to perform charitable or social
service for organizations perform-
26 ing services for the community.
27 Nothing in this subsection
shall be construed to limit a court's authority
28 to order a juvenile offender to make
restitution or perform charitable or
29 social service under circumstances other
than those specified by this sub-
30 section or when placement is made pursuant
to subsection (a)(3) or (4).
31 (e) In addition to or in
lieu of any other order authorized by this
32 section, the court may order a juvenile
offender to pay a fine not exceed-
33 ing $250 for each offense. In determining
whether to impose a fine and
34 the amount to be imposed, the court shall
consider the following:
35 (1) Imposition of a fine
is most appropriate in cases where the juve-
36 nile offender has derived pecuniary gain
from the offense.
37 (2) The amount of the
fine should be directly related directly to
the
38 seriousness of the juvenile offender's
offense and the juvenile offender's
39 ability to pay.
40 (3) Payment of a fine
may be required in a lump sum or installments.
41 (4) Imposition of a
restitution order is preferable to imposition of a
42 fine.
43 (5) The juvenile
offender's duty of payment should be limited in du-
Sub. SB 682
12
1 ration and in no event should the
time necessary for payment exceed the
2 maximum term which would be
authorized if the offense had been com-
3 mitted by an adult.
4 (f) In addition to
or in lieu of any other order authorized by this
5 section, if a juvenile is
adjudged adjudicated to be a juvenile
offender by
6 reason of a violation of the
uniform controlled substances act (K.S.A.
7 65-4101
et seq. and amendments thereto)
or K.S.A. 41-719, 41-727, 65-
8 4152, 65-4153, 65-4154 or
65-4155 65-4101 through 65-4164 or K.S.A.
9 1997 Supp. 8-1599, and amendments
thereto, the court shall order the
10 juvenile offender to submit to and complete
an alcohol and drug evalu-
11 ation by a community-based alcohol and drug
safety action program cer-
12 tified pursuant to K.S.A. 8-1008,
and amendments thereto, and to pay a
13 fee not to exceed the fee established by
that statute for such evaluation,
14 except that such evaluation may be
waived by the court. The court may
15 waive such evaluation if the court
finds that the juvenile offender has
16 successfully completed
successfully an alcohol and drug evaluation, ap-
17 proved by the community-based alcohol and
drug safety action program,
18 within 12 months of the offender's
arrest on this offense before sentenc-
19 ing. If such evaluation occurred
more than 12 months after the offender's
20 arrest on this offense
before sentencing, the court shall order the juvenile
21 offender to resubmit to and complete such
evaluation and program as
22 provided herein. If the court finds that
the juvenile offender and those
23 legally liable for the offender's support
are indigent, the fee may be
24 waived. In no event shall the fee be
assessed against the commissioner
25 or the juvenile justice authority. The
court may require the parent or
26 guardian of the juvenile offender to attend
such program with the juvenile
27 offender.
28 (g) The board of county
commissioners of a county may provide by
29 resolution that the parents or guardians of
any juvenile offender placed
30 under a house arrest program pursuant to
subsection (a)(7) (a)(9) shall
31 be required to pay to the county the cost
of such house arrest program.
32 The board of county commissioners shall
further prepare a sliding finan-
33 cial scale based on the ability of the
parents to pay for such a program.
34 (h) In addition to any
other order authorized by this section, if child
35 support has been requested and the parent
or parents have a duty to
36 support the respondent the court may
order, and when custody is placed
37 with the commissioner
shall, order, one or both parents to pay
child sup-
38 port. The court shall determine, for each
parent separately, whether the
39 parent is already
is subject to an order to pay support for the
respondent.
40 If the parent currently is not
presently ordered to pay support for the
41 respondent and the court has personal
jurisdiction over the parent, the
42 court shall order the parent to pay child
support in an amount determined
43 under K.S.A. 38-16,117, and
amendments thereto. Except for good cause
Sub. SB 682
13
1 shown, the court shall issue an
immediate income withholding order pur-
2 suant to K.S.A. 23-4,105 et
seq., and amendments thereto for each parent
3 ordered to pay support under this
subsection, regardless of whether a
4 payor has been identified for the
parent. A parent ordered to pay child
5 support under this subsection shall
be notified, at the hearing or other-
6 wise, that the child support order
may be registered pursuant to K.S.A.
7 38-16,119, and amendments
thereto. The parent shall also shall be
in-
8 formed that, after registration, the
income withholding order may be
9 served on the parent's employer
without further notice to the parent and
10 the child support order may be enforced by
any method allowed by law.
11 Failure to provide this notice shall not
affect the validity of the child
12 support order.
13 (i) Any order issued by
the judge pursuant to this section shall be in
14 effect immediately upon entry into the
judge's minutes court's journal.
15 (j) In addition to the
requirements of K.S.A. 38-1671, and amend-
16 ments thereto, on or after July 1,
1997, if a person is under 18 years of
17 age and convicted of a felony or
adjudicated as a juvenile offender for an
18 act which if done
offense if committed by an adult would constitute the
19 commission of a felony, the court shall
forward a signed copy of the jour-
20 nal entry to the commissioner within 30
days of final disposition.
21 (k) The sentencing
hearing shall be open to the public as provided in
22 K.S.A. 38-1652, and amendments thereto.
23 Sec. 6. On and
after July 1, 1999, K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 38-1663, as
24 amended by section 5 of this act, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
25 38-1663. (a) When a respondent has been
adjudicated to be a juvenile
26 offender, the judge may select from the
following alternatives:
27 (1) Place the juvenile
offender on probation for a fixed period, subject
28 to the terms and conditions the court deems
appropriate based on the
29 juvenile justice programs in the
community, including a requirement of
30 making restitution as required by
subsection (d).
31 (2) Place the juvenile
offender in the custody of a parent or other
32 suitable person, subject to the terms and
conditions the court orders
33 based on the juvenile justice program in
the community, including a re-
34 quirement of making restitution as required
by subsection (d).
35 (3) Place the juvenile
offender in the custody of a youth residential
36 facility, subject to the terms and
conditions the court orders.
37 (4) Place the juvenile
offender in the custody of the commissioner.
38 (5) Commit the juvenile
offender to a sanctions house for a period
39 no longer than seven days. Following such
period, the court shall review
40 the placement. The court may continue to
recommit the juvenile offender
41 to a sanctions house for a period no longer
than seven days followed by
42 a court review. Commitment to a sanctions
house shall not exceed 28
43 consecutive days. An offender over 18 years
of age or less than 23 years
Sub. SB 682
14
1 of age at sentencing may be committed
to a county jail, in lieu of a sanc-
2 tions house, under the same time
restrictions imposed by this paragraph.
3 No offender may be committed under
this paragraph unless such of-
4 fender has violated the terms of
probation.
5 (6) Commit the
juvenile offender to a community based program
6 available in such judicial district
subject to the terms and conditions the
7 court orders.
8 (7) Impose any

offender to a juvenile correctional facility
if
12 the juvenile offender:
13 (A) Previously
has been adjudicated as a juvenile offender under this
14 code or under the Kansas juvenile
offender code as it existed prior to July
15 1, 1997, for an offense which, if
committed by an adult, would constitute
16 a felony, a class A misdemeanor, a
class B person or nonperson select
17 misdemeanor or a class C person
misdemeanor; or
18 (B) has been
adjudicated a juvenile offender as a result of having
19 committed an offense which, if
committed by a person 18 years of age or
20 over, would constitute a class A, B
or C felony as defined by the Kansas
21 criminal code or, if done on or
after July 1, 1993, would constitute an off-
22 grid crime or a nondrug crime
ranked in severity level 1 through 5 or a
23 drug crime ranked in severity level
1 through 3 as provided by the place-
24 ment matrix established in K.S.A. 1997
Supp. 38-16,129, and amendments
25 thereto.
26 (9) Place the juvenile
offender under a house arrest program admin-
27 istered by the court pursuant to K.S.A.
21-4603b, and amendments
28 thereto.
29 (b) (1) In addition
to any other order authorized by this section, the
30 court may order the: (A) Juvenile offender
and the parents of the juvenile
31 offender to:
32 (i) Attend counseling
sessions as the court directs; or
33 (ii) participate in
mediation as the court directs. Participants in such
34 mediation may include, but shall not be
limited to, the victim, the juvenile
35 offender and the juvenile offender's
parents. Mediation shall not be man-
36 datory for the victim;
37 (B) parents of the
juvenile offender to participate in parenting classes;
38 or
39 (C) juvenile offender to
participate in a program of education offered
40 by a local board of education including
placement in an alternative edu-
41 cational program approved by a local board
of education.
42 (2) Upon entering an
order requiring a juvenile offender's parent to
43 attend counseling sessions or mediation,
the court shall give the parent
Sub. SB 682
15
1 notice of the order. The notice shall
inform the parent of the parent's
2 right to request a hearing within 10
days after entry of the order and the
3 parent's right to employ an attorney
to represent the parent at the hearing
4 or, if the parent is financially
unable to employ an attorney, the parent's
5 right to request the court to appoint
an attorney to represent the parent.
6 If the parent does not request a
hearing within 10 days after entry of the
7 order, the order shall take effect at
that time. If the parent requests a
8 hearing, the court shall set the
matter for hearing and, if requested, shall
9 appoint an attorney to represent the
parent. The expense and fees of the
10 appointed attorney may be allowed and
assessed as provided by K.S.A.
11 38-1606, and amendments thereto.
12 (3) The costs of any
counseling or mediation may be assessed as ex-
13 penses in the case. No mental health center
shall charge a fee for
14 court-ordered counseling greater than what
the center would have
15 charged the person receiving the counseling
if the person had requested
16 counseling on the person's own initiative.
No mediator shall charge a fee
17 for court-ordered mediation greater than
what the mediator would have
18 charged the person participating in the
mediation if the person had re-
19 quested mediation on the person's own
initiative.
20 (c) (1) If a
respondent has been adjudged to be a juvenile offender,
21 the court, in addition to any other order
authorized by this section, may
22 suspend the juvenile offender's driver's
license or privilege to operate a
23 motor vehicle on the streets and highways
of this state. The duration of
24 the suspension ordered by the court shall
be for a definite time period to
25 be determined by the court. Upon suspension
of a license pursuant to
26 this subsection, the court shall require
the juvenile offender to surrender
27 the license to the court. The court shall
transmit the license to the division
28 of motor vehicles of the department of
revenue, to be retained until the
29 period of suspension expires. At that time,
the licensee may apply to the
30 division for return of the license. If the
license has expired, the juvenile
31 offender may apply for a new license, which
shall be issued promptly
32 upon payment of the proper fee and
satisfaction of other conditions es-
33 tablished by law for obtaining a license
unless another suspension or rev-
34 ocation of the juvenile offender's
privilege to operate a motor vehicle is
35 in effect. As used in this subsection,
``highway'' and ``street'' have the
36 meanings provided by K.S.A. 8-1424 and
8-1473, and amendments
37 thereto. Any respondent who is adjudicated
to be a juvenile offender who
38 does not have a driver's license may have
such juvenile offender's driving
39 privileges revoked. No Kansas driver's
license shall be issued to a juvenile
40 offender whose driving privileges have been
revoked pursuant to this
41 section for a definite time period to be
determined by the court.
42 (2) In lieu of
suspending the driver's license or privilege to operate
43 a motor vehicle on the highways of this
state of any respondent adjudi-
Sub. SB 682
16
1 cated to be a juvenile offender, as
provided in subsection (c)(1), the court
2 in which such juvenile offender was
adjudicated to be a juvenile offender
3 may enter an order which places
conditions on such juvenile offender's
4 privilege of operating a motor
vehicle on the streets and highways of this
5 state, a certified copy of which such
juvenile offender shall be required
6 to carry any time such juvenile
offender is operating a motor vehicle on
7 the streets and highways of this
state. Any such order shall prescribe the
8 duration of the conditions imposed
and shall specify that such duration
9 shall be for a definite time period
to be determined by the court. Upon
10 entering an order restricting a juvenile
offender's license hereunder, the
11 court shall require such juvenile offender
to surrender such juvenile of-
12 fender's driver's license to the court. The
court shall transmit the license
13 to the division of vehicles, together with
a copy of the order. Upon receipt
14 thereof, the division of vehicles shall
issue without charge a driver's li-
15 cense which shall indicate on its face that
conditions have been imposed
16 on such juvenile offender's privilege of
operating a motor vehicle and that
17 a certified copy of the order imposing such
conditions is required to be
18 carried by the juvenile offender for whom
the license was issued any time
19 such juvenile offender is operating a motor
vehicle on the streets and
20 highways of this state. If the juvenile
offender convicted is a nonresident,
21 the court shall cause a copy of the order
to be transmitted to the division
22 and the division shall forward a copy of it
to the motor vehicle adminis-
23 trator of such juvenile offender's state of
residence. Such court shall fur-
24 nish to any juvenile offender whose
driver's license has had conditions
25 imposed on it under this section a copy of
the order, which shall be
26 recognized as a valid Kansas driver's
license until such time as the division
27 shall issue the restricted license provided
for in this subsection. Upon
28 expiration of the period of time for which
conditions are imposed pur-
29 suant to this subsection, the licensee may
apply to the division for the
30 return of the license previously
surrendered by such licensee. In the event
31 such license has expired, such juvenile
offender may apply to the division
32 for a new license, which shall be issued
immediately by the division upon
33 payment of the proper fee and satisfaction
of the other conditions estab-
34 lished by law, unless such juvenile
offender's privilege to operate a motor
35 vehicle on the streets and highways of this
state has been suspended or
36 revoked prior thereto. If any juvenile
offender shall violate any of the
37 conditions imposed under this subsection,
such juvenile offender's
38 driver's license or privilege to operate a
motor vehicle on the streets and
39 highways of this state shall be revoked for
a period as determined by the
40 court in which such juvenile offender is
convicted of violating such con-
41 ditions.
42 (d) Whenever a juvenile
offender is placed pursuant to subsection
43 (a)(1) or (2), the court, unless it finds
compelling circumstances which
Sub. SB 682
17
1 would render a plan of restitution
unworkable, shall order the juvenile
2 offender to make restitution to
persons who sustained loss by reason of
3 the offense. The restitution shall be
made either by payment of an amount
4 fixed by the court or by working for
the persons in order to compensate
5 for the loss. If the court finds
compelling circumstances which would
6 render a plan of restitution
unworkable, the court may order the juvenile
7 offender to perform charitable or
social service for organizations perform-
8 ing services for the community.
9 Nothing in this
subsection shall be construed to limit a court's authority
10 to order a juvenile offender to make
restitution or perform charitable or
11 social service under circumstances other
than those specified by this sub-
12 section or when placement is made pursuant
to subsection (a)(3) or (4).
13 (e) In addition to or in
lieu of any other order authorized by this
14 section, the court may order a juvenile
offender to pay a fine not exceed-
15 ing $250 for each offense. In determining
whether to impose a fine and
16 the amount to be imposed, the court shall
consider the following:
17 (1) Imposition of a fine
is most appropriate in cases where the juve-
18 nile offender has derived pecuniary gain
from the offense.
19 (2) The amount of the
fine should be related directly to the serious-
20 ness of the juvenile offender's offense and
the juvenile offender's ability
21 to pay.
22 (3) Payment of a fine
may be required in a lump sum or installments.
23 (4) Imposition of a
restitution order is preferable to imposition of a
24 fine.
25 (5) The juvenile
offender's duty of payment should be limited in du-
26 ration and in no event should the time
necessary for payment exceed the
27 maximum term which would be authorized if
the offense had been com-
28 mitted by an adult.
29 (f) In addition to or in
lieu of any other order authorized by this
30 section, if a juvenile is adjudicated to be
a juvenile offender by reason of
31 a violation of K.S.A. 41-719, 41-727,
65-4101 through 65-4164 or K.S.A.
32 1997 Supp. 8-1599, and amendments thereto,
the court shall order the
33 juvenile offender to submit to and complete
an alcohol and drug evalu-
34 ation by a community-based alcohol and drug
safety action program cer-
35 tified pursuant to K.S.A. 8-1008, and
amendments thereto, and to pay a
36 fee not to exceed the fee established by
that statute for such evaluation.
37 The court may waive such evaluation if the
court finds that the juvenile
38 offender has completed successfully an
alcohol and drug evaluation, ap-
39 proved by the community-based alcohol and
drug safety action program,
40 within 12 months before sentencing. If such
evaluation occurred more
41 than 12 months before sentencing, the court
shall order the juvenile of-
42 fender to resubmit to and complete such
evaluation and program as pro-
43 vided herein. If the court finds that the
juvenile offender and those legally
Sub. SB 682
18
1 liable for the offender's support are
indigent, the fee may be waived. In
2 no event shall the fee be assessed
against the commissioner or the juvenile
3 justice authority. The court may
require the parent or guardian of the
4 juvenile offender to attend such
program with the juvenile offender.
5 (g) The board of
county commissioners of a county may provide by
6 resolution that the parents or
guardians of any juvenile offender placed
7 under a house arrest program pursuant
to subsection (a)(9) shall be re-
8 quired to pay to the county the cost
of such house arrest program. The
9 board of county commissioners shall
prepare a sliding financial scale
10 based on the ability of the parents to pay
for such a program.
11 (h) In addition to any
other order authorized by this section, if child
12 support has been requested and the parent
or parents have a duty to
13 support the respondent the court may order,
and when custody is placed
14 with the commissioner shall order, one or
both parents to pay child sup-
15 port. The court shall determine, for each
parent separately, whether the
16 parent already is subject to an order to
pay support for the respondent.
17 If the parent currently is not ordered to
pay support for the respondent
18 and the court has personal jurisdiction
over the parent, the court shall
19 order the parent to pay child support in an
amount determined under
20 K.S.A. 38-16,117, and amendments thereto.
Except for good cause
21 shown, the court shall issue an immediate
income withholding order pur-
22 suant to K.S.A. 23-4,105 et seq.,
and amendments thereto, for each parent
23 ordered to pay support under this
subsection, regardless of whether a
24 payor has been identified for the parent. A
parent ordered to pay child
25 support under this subsection shall be
notified, at the hearing or other-
26 wise, that the child support order may be
registered pursuant to K.S.A.
27 38-16,119, and amendments thereto. The
parent also shall be informed
28 that, after registration, the income
withholding order may be served on
29 the parent's employer without further
notice to the parent and the child
30 support order may be enforced by any method
