(a) Revocation of Juvenile Probation.

(1) A child who has been placed on juvenile probation

may be brought before the court upon allegations of violation(s).

(2) Any proceeding alleging a violation shall be initiated

by the filing of a sworn affidavit of the material facts supporting the

allegation(s). The affidavit shall be executed by the child’s juvenile

probation officer or other person having actual knowledge of the

facts. Copies of the affidavit shall be provided to the court, the state

attorney, and the Department of Juvenile Justice.

(3) When revocation proceedings are sought by the

state attorney or the Department of Juvenile Justice, the

proceedings shall be initiated by the filing of a petition alleging

violation of juvenile probation. The petition shall incorporate and

reference the affidavit described in subdivision (a)(2). All such

petitions must be signed and filed by legal counsel.

(4) The court may initiate revocation proceedings by the

entry of an order initiating revocation proceedings. The order must

incorporate and reference the affidavit described in subdivision

(a)(2).

(5) All interested persons, including the child, shall

have an opportunity to be heard. After such hearing, the court shall

enter an order revoking, modifying, terminating, or continuing

juvenile probation. Upon the revocation of juvenile probation, the

court shall, when the child has been placed on juvenile probation

and adjudication has been withheld, adjudicate the child

delinquent. In all cases after a revocation of juvenile probation, the

court shall enter a new disposition order.

(b) Retention of Authority over Discharge. When the court

has retained authority over discharge of a delinquent child from

placement or commitment as provided by law, prior to any

discharge from placement or commitment, the Department of

Juvenile Justice shall notify the court, the state attorney, the victim

of the offense or offenses for which the child was placed under

supervision of the department, and the child of its intention to

discharge the child. Thereafter, any interested party may request a

hearing, within the time prescribed by law, to address the

discharge.
