Conn. Practice Book § 35a-12
Protective Supervision—Conditions, Modification and Termination
(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.
