Protective Supervision—Conditions, Modification and Termination

activein force · 2025-01-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) When protective supervision is ordered, the

judicial authority will set forth any conditions of

said supervision including duration, specific steps

and review dates.

(b) A protective supervision order shall be

scheduled for an in court review and reviewed by

the judicial authority at least thirty days prior to

its expiration. At said review, an updated social

study shall be provided to the judicial authority.

(c) If an extension of protective supervision is

being sought by the Commissioner of the Department of Children and Families or any other party

in interest, including counsel for the minor child

or youth, then a written motion for the same shall

be filed not less than thirty days prior to such

expiration. Such motion shall be heard either at

the in court review of protective supervision if it

is held within thirty days of such expiration or at

a hearing to be held within ten days after the filing

of such motion. For good cause shown and under

extenuating circumstances, such written motion

may be filed in a period of less than thirty days

prior to the expiration of the protective supervision

and the same shall be docketed accordingly. The

motion shall set forth the reason(s) for the extension of the protective supervision and the period of

the extension being sought. If the judicial authority

orders such extension of protective supervision,

the extension order shall be reviewed by the judicial authority at least thirty days prior to its expiration.

(d) Parental or guardian noncompliance with

the order of protective supervision shall be a ground

for a motion to modify the disposition. Upon finding

that the best interests of the child or youth so

warrant, the judicial authority, on its own motion

or acting on a motion of any party and after notice

is given and a hearing has been held, may modify

a previously entered disposition of protective

supervision in accordance with the applicable

General Statutes.

(e) Any party who seeks to have an order of

protective supervision terminate prior to its scheduled expiration date shall file a written motion to

terminate the order. The motion shall set forth the

reason or reasons why it is in the child’s or youth’s

best interests for protective supervision to terminate early. If termination of protective supervision

is sought on the day of a scheduled in court review

hearing, such motion may be filed that day. All

parties shall be afforded reasonable time to review

the written motion and accompanying status reports

or other relevant documents. Upon finding that

the best interests of the child or youth so warrant,

the judicial authority, acting on such motion and

after notice is given and a hearing has been held,

may terminate an order of protective supervision

prior to its scheduled expiration date.
