25attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official specified under s. 938.09

7shall file the petition, close the case, or refer the case back to intake within 20 days
8after the date that the intake worker's recommendation was filed. A referral back
9to intake may be made only when the district attorney, corporation counsel or other
10appropriate official decides not to file a petition or determines that further
11investigation is necessary. If the case is referred back to intake upon a decision not
12to file a petition, the intake worker shall close the case or enter into a deferred
13prosecution agreement within 20 days. If the case is referred back to intake for
14further investigation, the appropriate agency or person shall complete the
15investigation within 20 days. If another referral is made to the district attorney,
16corporation counsel or other appropriate official, it shall be considered a new referral
17to which the time limits of this subsection shall apply. The time limits in this
18subsection may only be extended by a judge upon a showing of good cause under s.

AB130-SSA1,239,724 (b) In delinquency cases where there has been a case closure or deferred
25prosecution agreement, the petition shall be filed within 20 days of receipt of the

1notice of closure or deferred prosecution. Failure to file within 20 days invalidates
2the petition and affirms the case closure or deferred prosecution agreement, except
3that the court shall grant appropriate relief as provided in s. 938.315 (3) with respect
4to a petition that is not filed within the time limit specified in this paragraph. If a
5petition is filed within 20 days or the time permitted by the court under s. 938.315
6(3), whichever is later, the district attorney shall notify the parties to the agreement
7and the intake worker as soon as possible.
AB130-SSA1,239,12 8(3) If the district attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official

10that the petition be filed and a hearing shall be held on the request. The judge may
11order the filing of the petition on his or her own motion. The matter may not be heard
12by the judge who orders the filing of a petition.
AB130-SSA1,239,13 13(4) Section 939.74 applies to delinquency petitions filed under this subchapter.

16is filed with the court.

21may combine hearings authorized under s. 813.122 or 813.125 and this chapter, the
22petitioner for the temporary restraining order and injunction is not subject to the
23limitations under s. 813.122 (2) or 813.125 (2) and no fee is required regarding the
