9938.125 or 938.13 (12). The identity of a confidential informant may be withheld
10pursuant to s. 905.10.

16records or with the permission of the court. The court may instruct counsel not to
17disclose specified items in the materials to the juvenile or the parent if the court
18reasonably believes that the disclosure would be harmful to the interests of the

5requesting person to view the videotaped oral statement.
AB130-SSA1,250,24 6938.295 Physical, psychological, mental or developmental
7examination. (1)
After the filing of a petition and upon a finding by the court that
8reasonable cause exists to warrant an examination or an alcohol and other drug
9abuse assessment that conforms to the criteria specified under s. 938.547 (4), the
10court may order any juvenile coming within its jurisdiction to be examined as an
11outpatient by personnel in an approved treatment facility for alcohol and other drug
12abuse, by a physician, psychiatrist or licensed psychologist, or by another expert
13appointed by the court holding at least a master's degree in social work or another
14related field of child development, in order that the juvenile's physical, psychological,
15alcohol or other drug dependency, mental or developmental condition may be
16considered. The court may also order an examination or an alcohol and other drug
17abuse assessment that conforms to the criteria specified under s. 938.547 (4) of a
18parent, guardian or legal custodian whose ability to care for a juvenile is at issue
19before the court. The court shall hear any objections by the juvenile and the juvenile's
20parents, guardian or legal custodian to the request for such an examination or
21assessment before ordering the examination or assessment. The expenses of an
22examination, if approved by the court, shall be paid by the county of the court
23ordering the examination. The payment for an alcohol and other drug abuse
24assessment shall be in accordance with s. 938.361.
AB130-SSA1,251,2
1(1c) Reasonable cause is considered to exist to warrant an alcohol and other
2drug abuse assessment under sub. (1) if any of the following applies:
AB130-SSA1,251,53 (a) The multidisciplinary screen procedure conducted under s. 938.24 (2)
4indicates that the juvenile is at risk of having needs and problems related to alcohol
5or other drug abuse.
AB130-SSA1,251,76 (b) The juvenile was adjudicated delinquent on the basis of an offense specified
7in ch. 161.
AB130-SSA1,251,118 (c) The greater weight of the evidence at the fact-finding hearing indicates that
9any offense which formed the basis for the adjudication was motivated by the
10juvenile's need to purchase or otherwise obtain alcohol beverages or controlled
11substances.
AB130-SSA1,251,22 12(1g) If the court orders an alcohol or other drug abuse assessment under sub.
13(1), the approved treatment facility shall, within 14 days after the court order, report
14the results of the assessment to the court, except that, upon request by the approved
15treatment facility and if the juvenile is not held in secure or nonsecure custody, the
16court may extend the period for assessment for not more than 20 additional working
17days. The report shall include a recommendation as to whether the juvenile is in
18need of treatment, intervention or education relating to the use or abuse of alcohol
19beverages or controlled substances and, if so, shall recommend a service plan and
20appropriate treatment from an approved treatment facility, intervention from a
21court-approved pupil assistance program or education from a court-approved
22alcohol or other drug abuse education program.
AB130-SSA1,252,7 23(2) (a) If there is probable cause to believe that the juvenile has committed the
24alleged offense and if there is reason to doubt the juvenile's competency to proceed,
25or upon entry of a plea under s. 938.30 (4) (c) the court shall order the juvenile to be

1examined by a psychiatrist or licensed psychologist. The expenses of an
2examination, if approved by the court, shall be paid by the county of the court
3ordering the examination. Evaluation shall be made on an outpatient basis unless
4the juvenile presents a substantial risk of physical harm to the juvenile or others; or
5the juvenile, parent or guardian, and legal counsel or guardian ad litem consent to
6an inpatient evaluation. Any inpatient evaluation shall be for a specified period that
7is no longer than is necessary to complete the evaluation.
AB130-SSA1,253,28 (b) The examiner shall file a report of the examination with the court by the
9date specified in the order. The court shall cause copies to be transmitted to the
10district attorney or corporation counsel and to the juvenile's counsel or guardian ad
11litem. The report shall describe the nature of the examination and identify the
12persons interviewed, the particular records reviewed and any tests administered to
13the juvenile. If the examination is ordered following a plea under s. 938.30 (4) (c),
14the report shall also contain an opinion regarding whether the juvenile suffered from
15mental disease or defect at the time of the commission of the act alleged in the
16petition and, if so, whether this caused the juvenile to lack substantial capacity to
17appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her conduct or to conform his or her conduct to
18the requirements of the law. If the examination is ordered following a finding that
19there is probable cause to believe that the juvenile has committed the alleged offense
20and that there is reason to doubt the juvenile's competency to proceed, the report
21shall also contain an opinion regarding the juvenile's present mental capacity to
22understand the proceedings and assist in his or her defense and, if the examiner
23reports that the juvenile lacks competency to proceed, the examiner's opinion
24regarding the likelihood that the juvenile, if provided treatment, may be restored to
25competency within the time specified in s. 938.30 (5) (e) 1. The report shall also state

1in reasonable detail the facts and reasoning upon which the examiner's opinions are
2based.
AB130-SSA1,253,6 3(3) If the juvenile or a parent objects to a particular physician, psychiatrist,
4licensed psychologist or other expert as required under this section, the court shall
5appoint a different physician, psychiatrist, psychologist or other expert as required
6under this section.

23requests the district attorney or corporation counsel to apply for that order.
AB130-SSA1,254,224 (b) The district attorney or corporation counsel has probable cause to believe
25that the juvenile has significantly exposed the victim or alleged victim. If the

1juvenile is adjudicated delinquent or found to be in need of protection or services, this
2paragraph does not apply.
AB130-SSA1,254,4 3(3) The district attorney or corporation counsel may apply for an order under
4sub. (2) at any of the following times:

AB130-SSA1,255,7 3(6) The court may order the county to pay for the cost of a test or series of tests
4ordered under sub. (4). This subsection does not prevent recovery of reasonable

14hearing or be deemed waived. Other motions capable of determination without trial
15may be brought any time before trial.

19by the attempt to introduce such evidence and that party waives jeopardy. Only the
20juvenile may waive jeopardy in cases under s. 938.12, 938.125 or 938.13 (12).
AB130-SSA1,255,25 21(4) Although the taking of a juvenile into custody is not an arrest, it shall be
22considered an arrest for the purpose of deciding motions which require a decision

9that the court shall exclude the general public from a hearing if the victim of a sexual
10assault objects and may, in its discretion, exclude the general public from any portion
11of a hearing which deals with sensitive personal matters of the juvenile or the
12juvenile's family and which does not relate to the act or alleged act committed by the
13juvenile or from any other hearing described in this paragraph. If the court excludes
14the general public from a hearing described in this paragraph, only those persons

20hearing for which he received the notice, alleges that he is the father of the juvenile
21and states that he wishes to establish the paternity of the juvenile, the court shall
22refer the matter to the state or to the attorney responsible for support enforcement
23under s. 59.458 (1) for a determination, under s. 767.45, of whether an action should
24be brought for the purpose of determining the paternity of the juvenile. The court
25may stay the proceedings under this chapter pending the outcome of the paternity

1proceedings under ss. 767.45 to 767.60 if the court determines that the paternity
2proceedings will not unduly delay the proceedings under this chapter and the
3determination of paternity is necessary to the court's disposition of the juvenile if the
4juvenile is found to be in need of protection or services. As part of the proceedings
5under this chapter, the court may order that a record be made of any testimony of the
6juvenile's mother relating to the juvenile's paternity. A record made under this
7subsection is admissible in a proceeding to determine the juvenile's paternity under
