Conn. Practice Book § 27-8A

(a) If a child or youth has acknowledged responsibility for the alleged misconduct which is not one

for which a judicial hearing is mandated pursuant

to Section 27-4A, and the probation officer has

then found from investigation of the child’s or

youth’s total circumstances that some form of

court accountability less exacting than that arising

out of a court appearance appears to be in the

child’s or youth’s best interests, the officer may,

subject to the conditions imposed by subsection

(b) hereof, place the child or youth on nonjudicial

supervision for a term established by the juvenile

probation supervisor for a period not to exceed

180 days.

(b) Whenever the probation officer seeks to

effect nonjudicial supervision, the parent and the

child or youth shall have a right to a conference

with the probation officer’s administrative supe -

rior, or a court hearing. Whenever a parent or

child or youth elects to pursue either or both rights,

supervision shall be held in abeyance until the

outcome thereof.

(c) Such nonjudicial supervision when com -

pleted shall constitute a resolution of the case,

and thereafter a child or youth may not again be

presented for formal court action on the same

summons, complaint or petition or the facts therein

set forth, provided however, that a judicial hearing

may be initiated on the original summons, complaint, petition, or information during said non -

judicial supervision if there has been a failure to

comply with terms of the supervision and any oral

or written statement of responsibility shall not be

used against the child or youth. When the judicial

authority refers the file for nonjudicial handling, the

referral order should provide that upon successful

completion of any nonjudicial handling, the matter

will be dismissed and erased immediately without

the filing of a request, application or petition for

erasure, for all purposes except for subsequent

consideration for nonjudicial handling under Section 27-4A.
