SUMMARY

This bill provides that a disposition under the Maine Juvenile Code must be reviewed not less than once in every 6 months until the juvenile is discharged. Current law requires a review not less than once in every 12 months. The bill also provides that whenever a juvenile is committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections, the court shall assign a guardian ad litem to represent the juvenile and the court shall set a date for review of that commitment. The date may be no more than 6 months from the date of the commitment.
