Retention of Jurisdiction
(a) Mandatory Retention of Jurisdiction. The court shall retain jurisdiction over every action in which it has entered an order of disposition for the duration of the dispositional terms and conditions. If the court finds at any time during the duration of the disposition, on notice and hearing, that the conditions of the order of disposition have been violated, it may substitute any other disposition which it might originally have made. If the disposition was an order of commitment or incarceration the court may, during the duration of that disposition, substitute any other disposition otherwise available to it.
(b) Discretionary Retention of Jurisdiction. Where retention of jurisdiction is not mandatory pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof, the order of disposition may provide for the retention of the court's jurisdiction over a juvenile for a term not exceeding that specified therein.
