2. Reports. As often as the commissioner requires, the person
or agency caring for the juvenile client while on aftercare
community reintegration status shall report to the commissioner:

 
A. The progress and behavior of the juvenile client,
whether or not the juvenile client remains under the care of
the person or agency; and

 
B. If the juvenile client is not under the care of the
person or agency, where the client is.

 
3. Center services. The commissioner shall provide aftercare
community reintegration services to juvenile clients.

 
4. Cancellation. If the commissioner is satisfied at any time

facility without leave is taken into custody for the purpose of
return to the facility by an officer or employee of the facility,
at the direction of the commissioner, or by a law enforcement
officer, at the request of the commissioner, and because of the
juvenile client's distance from the facility at the time of being
taken into custody, it becomes necessary to detain the client
overnight:
