(1) For a minor adjudicated and placed on probation under Section 80-6-702 or committed to the division under Section 80-6-703, a case plan shall be created and: (a) developed in collaboration with the minor and the minor's family; (b) individualized to the minor; (c) informed by the results of a validated risk and needs assessment under Section 80-6-606; and (d) tailored to the minor's offense and history. (2) (a) The Administrative Office of the Courts and the division shall develop a statewide system of appropriate responses to guide responses to the behaviors of minors: (i) undergoing nonjudicial adjustments; (ii) whose case is under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court; and (iii) in the custody of the division. (b) The system of responses shall include both sanctions and incentives that: (i) are swift and certain; (ii) include a continuum of community based responses for minors living at home; (iii) target a minor's criminogenic risks and needs, as determined by the results of a validated risk and needs assessment under Section 80-6-606, and the severity of the violation; and (iv) authorize earned discharge credits as one incentive for compliance. (c) After considering the juvenile disposition guidelines, as defined in Section 75E-4-101, the system of appropriate responses under Subsections (2)(a) and (b) shall be developed. (3) (a) A response to compliant or noncompliant behavior under Subsection (2) shall be documented in the minor's case plan. (b) Documentation under Subsection (3)(a) shall include: (i) positive behaviors and incentives offered; (ii) violations and corresponding sanctions; and (iii) whether the minor has a subsequent violation after a sanction. (4) Before referring a minor to a juvenile court for judicial review, or to the authority if the minor is under the jurisdiction of the authority, in response to a contempt filing under Section 78A-6-353 or an order to show cause, a pattern of appropriate responses shall be documented in the minor's case plan in accordance with Subsections (3)(a) and (b) . (5) Notwithstanding Subsection (4), if a minor violates a protective order or an ex parte protective order listed in Section 78B-7-803, the violation may be filed directly with the juvenile court.
