Item 1

 
a disposition under subsection 1, paragraph F may be modified to a
disposition under subsection 1, paragraph H. If a motion for
revocation of probation is filed with the court and if the juvenile
is being detained pending the court hearing for an alleged
violation of probation, the court shall review within 5 days of the
filing of the motion 48 hours following the detention, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, the decision to detain the
juvenile, if the court has not previously reviewed the decision.
Following that review, the court shall order the juvenile's release
unless the court finds that there is probable cause to believe that
the juvenile has violated a condition of probation and finds, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that continued detention is
necessary to meet one of the purposes of detention under section
3203-A, subsection 4, paragraph C.

 
Sec. A-6. 15 MRSA §3315, sub-§3, as amended by PL 1997, c. 464, §2, is
further amended to read:

 
3. Court review of determination. Whenever a court makes a
determination pursuant to section 3314, subsection 1, paragraph F
or section 3314, subsection 2, that determination must be
reviewed by the court not less than once every 12 months until
the juvenile is discharged or no longer residing outside the
juvenile's home. This review does not affect a juvenile's
commitment to a Department of Corrections juvenile correctional
facility.
