Juvenile Justice Services has legal custody of a child, that division shall retain legal custody for
purposes of this part.
(8) The cost of caring for and maintaining a child in the physical custody of a local
mental health authority shall be assessed to and paid by the child's parents, according to their
ability to pay. For purposes of this section, the Division of Child and Family Services or the
[
responsible, in addition to the child's parents, if the child is in the legal custody of either of those
divisions at the time the child is committed to the physical custody of a local mental health
authority under this section, unless Medicaid regulation or contract provisions specify otherwise.
The Office of Recovery Services shall assist those divisions in collecting the costs assessed
pursuant to this section.
(9) Whenever application is made for commitment of a minor to a local mental health
authority under any provision of this section by a person other than the child's parent or guardian,
the local mental health authority or its designee shall notify the child's parent or guardian. The
parents shall be provided sufficient time to prepare and appear at any scheduled proceeding.
(10) (a) Each child committed pursuant to this section is entitled to an appeal within 30
days after any order for commitment. The appeal may be brought on the child's own petition, or
that of his parent or legal guardian, to the juvenile court in the district where the child resides or
is currently physically located. With regard to a child in the custody of the Division of Child and
Family Services or the [
attorney general's office shall handle the appeal, otherwise the appropriate county attorney's
office is responsible for appeals brought pursuant to this Subsection (10)(a).
(b) Upon receipt of the petition for appeal, the court shall appoint a designated examiner
previously unrelated to the case, to conduct an examination of the child in accordance with the
criteria described in Subsection (4), and file a written report with the court. The court shall then
conduct an appeal hearing to determine whether the findings described in Subsection (4) exist by
clear and convincing evidence.
(c) Prior to the time of the appeal hearing, the appropriate local mental health authority,
its designee, or the mental health professional who has been in charge of the child's care prior to
commitment, shall provide the court and the designated examiner for the appeal hearing with the
following information, as it relates to the period of current admission:
(i) the original petition for commitment;
(ii) admission notes;
(iii) diagnosis;
(iv) physicians' orders;
(v) progress notes;
(vi) nursing notes; and
(vii) medication records.
(d) Both the neutral and detached fact finder and the designated examiner appointed for
the appeal hearing shall be provided with an opportunity to review the most current information
described in Subsection (10)(c) prior to the appeal hearing.
(e) The child, his parent or legal guardian, the person who submitted the original petition
for commitment, and a representative of the appropriate local mental health authority shall be
notified by the court of the date and time of the appeal hearing. Those persons shall be afforded
an opportunity to appear at the hearing. In reaching its decision, the court shall review the record
and findings of the neutral and detached fact finder, the report of the designated examiner
appointed pursuant to Subsection (10)(b), and may, in its discretion, allow or require the
testimony of the neutral and detached fact finder, the designated examiner, the child, the child's
parent or legal guardian, the person who brought the initial petition for commitment, or any other
person whose testimony the court deems relevant. The court may allow the child to waive his
right to appear at the appeal hearing, for good cause shown. If that waiver is granted, the purpose
shall be made a part of the court's record.
(11) Each local mental health authority has an affirmative duty to conduct periodic
evaluations of the mental health and treatment progress of every child committed to its physical
custody under this section, and to release any child who has sufficiently improved so that the
criteria justifying commitment no longer exist.
(12) (a) A local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's
current treating mental health professional may release an improved child to a less restrictive
environment, as they determine appropriate. Whenever the local mental health authority or its
designee, and the child's current treating mental health professional, determine that the conditions
justifying commitment no longer exist, the child shall be discharged and released to his parent or
legal guardian. With regard to a child who is in the physical custody of the State Hospital, the
treating psychiatrist or clinical director of the State Hospital shall be the child's current treating
mental health professional.
(b) A local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's current
treating mental health professional, is authorized to issue a written order for the immediate
placement of a child not previously released from an order of commitment into a more restrictive
environment, if the local authority or its designee and the child's current treating mental health
professional has reason to believe that the less restrictive environment in which the child has
been placed is exacerbating his mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others.
(c) The written order described in Subsection (12)(b) shall include the reasons for
placement in a more restrictive environment and shall authorize any peace officer to take the
child into physical custody and transport him to a facility designated by the appropriate local
mental health authority in conjunction with the child's current treating mental health professional.
Prior to admission to the more restrictive environment, copies of the order shall be personally
delivered to the child, his parent or legal guardian, the administrator of the more restrictive
environment, or his designee, and the child's former treatment provider or facility.
(d) If the child has been in a less restrictive environment for more than 30 days and is
aggrieved by the change to a more restrictive environment, the child or his representative may
request a review within 30 days of the change, by a neutral and detached fact finder as described
in Subsection (3). The fact finder shall determine whether:
(i) the less restrictive environment in which the child has been placed is exacerbating his
mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others; or
(ii) the less restrictive environment in which the child has been placed is not
exacerbating his mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others, in which case
the fact finder shall designate that the child remain in the less restrictive environment.
(e) Nothing in this section prevents a local mental health authority or its designee, in
conjunction with the child's current mental health professional, from discharging a child from
commitment or from placing a child in an environment that is less restrictive than that designated
by the neutral and detached fact finder.
(13) Each local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's
current treating mental health professional shall discharge any child who, in the opinion of that
local authority, or its designee, and the child's current treating mental health professional, no
longer meets the criteria specified in Subsection (4), except as provided by Section 78-3a-121 .
The local authority and the mental health professional shall assure that any further supportive
services required to meet the child's needs upon release will be provided.
(14) Even though a child has been committed to the physical custody of a local mental
health authority pursuant to this section, the child is still entitled to additional due process
proceedings, in accordance with Section 62A-15-704 , before any treatment which may affect a
constitutionally protected liberty or privacy interest is administered. Those treatments include,
but are not limited to, antipsychotic medication, electroshock therapy, and psychosurgery.

being physically or sexually abused as described in Subsection (1)(c)(i) or (iii).

person known to the parent has occurred, and there is evidence that the parent or guardian failed
to protect the minor by allowing the minor to be in the physical presence of the alleged abuser,
that fact constitutes prima facie evidence that the minor is at substantial risk of being physically
or sexually abused;
(d) the parent or guardian is unwilling to have physical custody of the minor;
(e) the minor has been abandoned or left without any provision for the minor's support;
(f) a parent or guardian who has been incarcerated or institutionalized has not arranged or
cannot arrange for safe and appropriate care for the minor;

environment that poses a threat to the minor's health or safety; or

threat to the minor's health or safety;

may not be removed unless that minor is [
neglected;

guardian, has been charged or arrested pursuant to Title 58, Chapter 37d, Clandestine Drug Lab

residence or on the property where the minor resided; or
(m) the minor's welfare is otherwise endangered.
(2) A court may not remove a minor from the parent's or guardian's custody on the basis
of educational neglect, in the absence of one of the factors described in Subsection (1).
(3) A court may not remove a minor from the parent's or guardian's custody on the basis
of mental illness or poverty of the parent or guardian, in the absence of one of the factors
described in Subsection (1).
(4) A minor removed from the custody of the minor's parent or guardian under this
section may not be placed or kept in a secure detention facility pending further court proceedings
unless the minor is detainable based on guidelines promulgated by the [

(1) The district court shall have exclusive original jurisdiction over all persons 16 years
of age or older charged by information or indictment with:
(a) an offense which would be murder or aggravated murder if committed by an adult; or
(b) an offense which would be a felony if committed by an adult if the minor has been
previously committed to a secure facility as defined in Section 62A-7-101 . This Subsection
(1)(b) shall not apply if the offense is committed in a secure facility.
(2) When the district court has exclusive original jurisdiction over a minor under this
section, it also has exclusive original jurisdiction over the minor regarding all offenses joined
with the qualifying offense, and any other offenses, including misdemeanors, arising from the
same criminal episode. The district court is not divested of jurisdiction by virtue of the fact that
the minor is allowed to enter a plea to, or is found guilty of, a lesser or joined offense.
(3) (a) Any felony, misdemeanor, or infraction committed after the offense over which
the district court takes jurisdiction under Subsection (1) or (2) shall be tried against the defendant
as an adult in the district court or justice court having jurisdiction.
(b) If the qualifying charge under Subsection (1) results in an acquittal, a finding of not
guilty, or a dismissal of the charge in the district court, the juvenile court under Section
78-3a-104 and the [
jurisdiction and any authority previously exercised over the minor.
Section 45. Section 78-3a-602 is amended to read:
78-3a-602. Serious youth offender -- Procedure.
(1) Any action filed by a county attorney, district attorney, or attorney general charging a
minor 16 years of age or older with a felony shall be by criminal information and filed in the
juvenile court if the information charges any of the following offenses:
(a) any felony violation of:
(i) Section 76-6-103 , aggravated arson;
(ii) Subsection 76-5-103 (1)(a), aggravated assault, involving intentionally causing
serious bodily injury to another;
(iii) Section 76-5-302 , aggravated kidnaping;

(v) Section 76-6-302 , aggravated robbery;
(vi) Section 76-5-405 , aggravated sexual assault;

(viii) Section 76-5-202 , attempted aggravated murder; or
(ix) Section 76-5-203 , attempted murder; or
(b) an offense other than those listed in Subsection (1)(a) involving the use of a
dangerous weapon which would be a felony if committed by an adult, and the minor has been
previously adjudicated or convicted of an offense involving the use of a dangerous weapon which
also would have been a felony if committed by an adult.
(2) All proceedings before the juvenile court related to charges filed under Subsection (1)
shall be conducted in conformity with the rules established by the Utah Supreme Court.
(3) (a) If the information alleges the violation of a felony listed in Subsection (1), the
state shall have the burden of going forward with its case and the burden of proof to establish
probable cause to believe that one of the crimes listed in Subsection (1) has been committed and
that the defendant committed it. If proceeding under Subsection (1)(b), the state shall have the
additional burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant has
previously been adjudicated or convicted of an offense involving the use of a dangerous weapon.
(b) If the juvenile court judge finds the state has met its burden under this Subsection (3),
the court shall order that the defendant be bound over and held to answer in the district court in
the same manner as an adult unless the juvenile court judge finds that all of the following
conditions exist:
(i) the minor has not been previously adjudicated delinquent for an offense involving the
use of a dangerous weapon which would be a felony if committed by an adult;
(ii) that if the offense was committed with one or more other persons, the minor appears
to have a lesser degree of culpability than the codefendants; and
(iii) that the minor's role in the offense was not committed in a violent, aggressive, or
premeditated manner.
(c) Once the state has met its burden under this Subsection (3) as to a showing of
probable cause, the defendant shall have the burden of going forward and presenting evidence as
to the existence of the above conditions.
(d) If the juvenile court judge finds by clear and convincing evidence that all the above
conditions are satisfied, the court shall so state in its findings and order the minor held for trial as
a minor and shall proceed upon the information as though it were a juvenile petition.
(4) If the juvenile court judge finds that an offense has been committed, but that the state
has not met its burden of proving the other criteria needed to bind the defendant over under
Subsection (1), the juvenile court judge shall order the defendant held for trial as a minor and
shall proceed upon the information as though it were a juvenile petition.
(5) At the time of a bind over to district court a criminal warrant of arrest shall issue.
The defendant shall have the same right to bail as any other criminal defendant and shall be
advised of that right by the juvenile court judge. The juvenile court shall set initial bail in
accordance with Title 77, Chapter 20, Bail.
(6) If an indictment is returned by a grand jury charging a violation under this section, the
preliminary examination held by the juvenile court judge need not include a finding of probable
cause that the crime alleged in the indictment was committed and that the defendant committed
it, but the juvenile court shall proceed in accordance with this section regarding the additional
considerations listed in Subsection (3)(b).
(7) When a defendant is charged with multiple criminal offenses in the same information
or indictment and is bound over to answer in the district court for one or more charges under this
section, other offenses arising from the same criminal episode and any subsequent misdemeanors
or felonies charged against him shall be considered together with those charges, and where the
court finds probable cause to believe that those crimes have been committed and that the
defendant committed them, the defendant shall also be bound over to the district court to answer
for those charges.
(8) A minor who is bound over to answer as an adult in the district court under this
section or on whom an indictment has been returned by a grand jury, is not entitled to a
preliminary examination in the district court.
(9) Allegations contained in the indictment or information that the defendant has
previously been adjudicated or convicted of an offense involving the use of a dangerous weapon,
or is 16 years of age or older, are not elements of the criminal offense and do not need to be
proven at trial in the district court.
(10) If a minor enters a plea to, or is found guilty of, any of the charges filed or any other
offense arising from the same criminal episode, the district court retains jurisdiction over the
minor for all purposes, including sentencing.
(11) The juvenile court under Section 78-3a-104 and the [
Division of Juvenile Justice Services regain jurisdiction and any authority previously exercised
over the juvenile when there is an acquittal, a finding of not guilty, or dismissal of all charges in
the district court.

the commission of an act which would constitute a felony if committed by an adult, the juvenile
court shall conduct a preliminary hearing.
(2) At the preliminary hearing the state shall have the burden of going forward with its
case and the burden of establishing:
(a) probable cause to believe that a crime was committed and that the defendant
committed it; and
(b) by a preponderance of the evidence, that it would be contrary to the best interests of
the minor or of the public for the juvenile court to retain jurisdiction.
(3) In considering whether or not it would be contrary to the best interests of the minor or
of the public for the juvenile court to retain jurisdiction, the juvenile court shall consider, and
may base its decision on, the finding of one or more of the following factors:
(a) the seriousness of the offense and whether the protection of the community requires
isolation of the minor beyond that afforded by juvenile facilities;
(b) whether the alleged offense was committed by the minor in concert with two or more
persons under circumstances which would subject the minor to enhanced penalties under Section
76-3-203.1 were he an adult;
(c) whether the alleged offense was committed in an aggressive, violent, premeditated, or
willful manner;
(d) whether the alleged offense was against persons or property, greater weight being
given to offenses against persons, except as provided in Section 76-8-418 ;
(e) the maturity of the minor as determined by considerations of his home, environment,
emotional attitude, and pattern of living;
(f) the record and previous history of the minor;
(g) the likelihood of rehabilitation of the minor by use of facilities available to the
juvenile court;
(h) the desirability of trial and disposition of the entire offense in one court when the
minor's associates in the alleged offense are adults who will be charged with a crime in the
district court;
(i) whether the minor used a firearm in the commission of an offense; and
(j) whether the minor possessed a dangerous weapon on or about school premises as
provided in Section 76-10-505.5 .
(4) The amount of weight to be given to each of the factors listed in Subsection (3) is
discretionary with the court.
(5) (a) Written reports and other materials relating to the minor's mental, physical,
educational, and social history may be considered by the court.
(b) If requested by the minor, the minor's parent, guardian, or other interested party, the
court shall require the person or agency preparing the report and other material to appear and be
subject to both direct and cross-examination.
(6) At the conclusion of the state's case, the minor may testify under oath, call witnesses,
cross-examine adverse witnesses, and present evidence on the factors required by Subsection (3).
(7) If the court finds the state has met its burden under Subsection (2), the court may
enter an order:
(a) certifying that finding; and
(b) directing that the minor be held for criminal proceedings in the district court.
(8) If an indictment is returned by a grand jury, the preliminary examination held by the
juvenile court need not include a finding of probable cause, but the juvenile court shall proceed
in accordance with this section regarding the additional consideration referred to in Subsection
(2)(b).
(9) The provisions of Section 78-3a-116 , Section 78-3a-913 , and other provisions
relating to proceedings in juvenile cases are applicable to the hearing held under this section to
the extent they are pertinent.

court is not entitled to a preliminary examination in the district court.
(11) A minor who has been certified for trial in the district court shall have the same
right to bail as any other criminal defendant and shall be advised of that right by the juvenile
court judge. The juvenile court shall set initial bail in accordance with Title 77, Chapter 20, Bail.
(12) When a minor has been certified to the district court under this section or when a
criminal information or indictment is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction before a
committing magistrate charging the minor with an offense described in Section 78-3a-602 , the
jurisdiction of the [
jurisdiction of the juvenile court over the minor is terminated regarding that offense, any other
offenses arising from the same criminal episode, and any subsequent misdemeanors or felonies
charged against him, except as provided in Subsection (14).
(13) If a minor enters a plea to, or is found guilty of any of the charges filed or on any
other offense arising out of the same criminal episode, the district court retains jurisdiction over
the minor for all purposes, including sentencing.
(14) The juvenile court under Section 78-3a-104 and the [
Division of Juvenile Justice Services regain jurisdiction and any authority previously exercised
over the minor when there is an acquittal, a finding of not guilty, or dismissal of all charges in the
