JCRPP 9. Disposition hearing--status offense case
Commentary
While there are no time limits on commitment specified in KRS Chapter 630, it is reasonable that the duration of commitment to the Cabinet should not exceed the time limits placed on public offense commitments (12 months for a misdemeanor offense) unless the court makes findings that a longer period of commitment is necessary.
Commentary
While no probation time limits are specified in KRS Chapter 630, it is reasonable that the duration of status offense probation should not exceed the time limits placed on public offense probation (six (6) months, extended to 12 months if necessary for treatment) unless the court makes findings as to the necessity for a longer period of probation.
5. Finality. A status offense case shall be considered final 30 days after the case is no longer pending. On post-disposition matters a case is “pending” based on the terms set forth in the disposition order, not to exceed the statutory limits. The case shall be considered final no later than 30 days after completion of the terms. Once the case is final the case may not be reopened for any purpose including contempt proceedings.
