(b) The juvenile was adjudicated delinquent on the basis of an offense specified
15in ch. 161.
AB130,247,1916

18juvenile's need to purchase or otherwise obtain alcohol beverages or controlled
19substances.
AB130,248,5
20(1g) If the court orders an alcohol or other drug abuse assessment under sub.
21(1), the approved treatment facility shall, within 14 days after the court order, report
22the results of the assessment to the court, except that, upon request by the approved
23treatment facility and if the juvenile is not held in secure or nonsecure custody, the

4court-approved pupil assistance program or education from a court-approved
5alcohol or other drug abuse education program.

14an inpatient evaluation. Any inpatient evaluation shall be for a specified period that
15is no longer than is necessary to complete the evaluation.
AB130,249,1016
(b) The examiner shall file a report of the examination with the court by the
17date specified in the order. The court shall cause copies to be transmitted to the
18district attorney or corporation counsel and to the juvenile's counsel or guardian ad
19litem. The report shall describe the nature of the examination and identify the
20persons interviewed, the particular records reviewed and any tests administered to
21the juvenile. If the examination is ordered following a plea under s. 938.30 (4) (c),
22the report shall also contain an opinion regarding whether the juvenile suffered from
23mental disease or defect at the time of the commission of the act alleged in the
24petition and, if so, whether this caused the juvenile to lack substantial capacity to
25appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her conduct or to conform his or her conduct to
1the requirements of the law. If the examination is ordered following a finding that
2there is probable cause to believe that the juvenile has committed the alleged offense
3and that there is reason to doubt the juvenile's competency to proceed, the report
4shall also contain an opinion regarding the juvenile's present mental capacity to
5understand the proceedings and assist in his or her defense and, if the examiner

7regarding the likelihood that the juvenile, if provided treatment, may be restored to

7under s. 59.458 (1) for a determination, under s. 767.45, of whether an action should
8be brought for the purpose of determining the paternity of the juvenile. The court

10proceedings under ss. 767.45 to 767.60 if the court determines that the paternity
11proceedings will not unduly delay the proceedings under this chapter and the
