AB130,228,22 (h) The right to have the allegations of the petition proved by clear and convincing evidence unless the juvenile comes within the court's jurisdiction under s. 938.12 or 938.13 (12), in which case the standard of proof shall be beyond a reasonable doubt.

AB130,229,4 (1m) If the juvenile who is the subject of the intake inquiry is alleged to have committed an act which resulted in personal injury or damage to or loss of the property of another, the intake worker shall inform the juvenile's parents in writing of the possibility of disclosure of the identity of the juvenile and the parents, of the juvenile's police records and of the outcome of proceedings against the juvenile for use in civil actions for damages against the juvenile or the parents and of the parents' potential liability for acts of their juveniles.

AB130,229,6 (2) This section does not apply if the juvenile was present at a hearing under s. 938.21.

AB130,229,13 (3) If the juvenile has not had a hearing under s. 938.21 and was not present at an intake conference under s. 938.24, the intake worker shall inform the juvenile, parent, guardian and legal custodian as appropriate of their basic rights under this section. This notice shall be given verbally, either in person or by telephone, and in writing. This notice shall be given so as to allow the juvenile, parent, guardian or legal custodian sufficient time to prepare for the plea hearing. This subsection does not apply to cases of deferred prosecution under s. 938.245.

AB130,229,20 938.245 Deferred prosecution. (1) The intake worker may enter into a written deferred prosecution agreement with all parties as provided in this section if the intake worker has determined that neither the interests of the juvenile nor of the public require filing of a petition for circumstances relating to s. 938.12, 938.125 or 938.13. Deferred prosecution shall be available only if the facts persuade the intake worker that the jurisdiction of the court, if sought, would exist and upon consent of the juvenile, parent, guardian and legal custodian.

AB130,229,22 (2) (a) A deferred prosecution agreement may provide for any one or more of the following:

AB130,229,25 1. That the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian or legal custodian participate in individual, family or group counseling and that the parent, guardian or legal custodian participate in parenting skills training.

AB130,230,3 2. That the juvenile and a parent, guardian and legal custodian abide by such obligations, including supervision, curfews and school attendance requirements, as will tend to ensure the juvenile's rehabilitation, protection or care.

AB130,230,10 3. That the juvenile submit to an alcohol and other drug abuse assessment that conforms to the criteria specified under s. 938.547 (4) and that is conducted by an approved treatment facility for an examination of the juvenile's use of alcohol beverages or controlled substances and any medical, personal, family or social effects caused by its use, if the multidisciplinary screen conducted under s. 938.24 (2) shows that the juvenile is at risk of having needs and problems related to the use of alcohol beverages or controlled substances and its medical, personal, family or social effects.

AB130,230,17 4. That the juvenile participate in an alcohol and other drug abuse outpatient treatment program, a court-approved pupil assistance program provided by the juvenile's school board or a court-approved alcohol or other drug abuse education program, if an alcohol and other drug abuse assessment conducted under subd. 3. recommends outpatient treatment, intervention or education. The juvenile's participation in a court-approved pupil assistance program under this subdivision is subject to the approval of the juvenile's school board.

AB130,231,3 5. a. That the juvenile participate in a restitution project if the juvenile has attained the age of 10 and the act for which the deferred prosecution agreement is being entered into has resulted in damage to the property of another, or in actual physical injury to another excluding pain and suffering. Subject to subd. 5. c., the deferred prosecution agreement may require the juvenile to repair the damage to property or to make reasonable restitution for the damage or injury if the intake worker, after taking into consideration the well-being and needs of the victim, considers it beneficial to the well-being and behavior of the juvenile. Any such deferred prosecution agreement shall include a determination that the juvenile alone is financially able to pay and may allow up to the date of the expiration of the deferred prosecution agreement for the payment.

AB130,231,9 b. In addition to any other employment or duties permitted under ch. 103 or any rule or order under ch. 103, a juvenile who is 10 to 13 years of age who is participating in a restitution project provided by the county may, for the purpose of making restitution, be employed or perform any duties under any circumstances in which a juvenile 14 or 15 years of age is permitted to be employed or to perform duties under ch. 103 or any rule or order under ch. 103.

AB130,231,11 c. Under this subdivision, a deferred prosecution agreement may not require a juvenile who is 10 to 13 years of age to make more than $250 in restitution.

AB130,231,14 6. If the juvenile has attained the age of 10, that the juvenile participate in a supervised work program or other community service work in accordance with s. 938.34 (5g) (a).

AB130,232,2 7. That the juvenile be placed with a volunteers in probation program under such conditions as the intake worker determines are reasonable and appropriate, if the juvenile is alleged to have committed an act that would constitute a misdemeanor if committed by an adult, if the chief judge of the judicial administrative district has approved under s. 973.11 (2) a volunteers in probation program established in the juvenile's county of residence and if the intake worker determines that volunteer supervision under that volunteers in probation program will likely benefit the juvenile and the community. The conditions that the intake worker may establish under this subdivision may include, but need not be limited to, a request to a volunteer to provide for the juvenile a role model, informal counseling, general monitoring and monitoring of the conditions established by the intake worker, or any combination of these functions, and any other deferred prosecution condition that the intake worker may establish under this paragraph.

AB130,232,4 (b) A deferred prosecution agreement may not include any form of residential placement and may not exceed one year.

AB130,232,9 (c) If the deferred prosecution agreement provides for alcohol and other drug abuse outpatient treatment under par. (a) 4., the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian or legal custodian shall execute an informed consent form that indicates that they are voluntarily and knowingly entering into a deferred prosecution agreement for the provision of alcohol and other drug abuse outpatient treatment.

AB130,232,16 (3) The obligations imposed under a deferred prosecution agreement and its effective date shall be set forth in writing. The judge or juvenile court commissioner shall receive written notice that a deferred prosecution agreement has been entered into and, on receipt of that notice, shall enter an order requiring compliance with that agreement. The juvenile and a parent, guardian and legal custodian shall receive a copy of the agreement and order, as shall any agency providing services under the agreement.

AB130,232,24 (4) The intake worker shall inform the juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian and legal custodian in writing of their right to request the court to terminate the deferred prosecution agreement at any time or object at any time to the fact or terms of the deferred prosecution agreement. If an objection arises the intake worker may alter the terms of the agreement or recommend to the district attorney or corporation counsel that a petition be filed. If the deferred prosecution agreement is terminated the intake worker may recommend to the district attorney or corporation counsel that a petition be filed.

AB130,233,2 (5) A deferred prosecution agreement may be terminated by the court upon the request of the juvenile, parent, guardian or legal custodian.

AB130,233,7 (6) A deferred prosecution agreement arising out of an alleged delinquent act is terminated if the district attorney files a delinquency petition within 20 days after receipt of notice of the deferred prosecution agreement under s. 938.24 (5). In such case statements made to the intake worker during the intake inquiry are inadmissible.

AB130,233,18 (7) (a) If at any time during the period of a deferred prosecution agreement the intake worker determines that the obligations imposed under it are not being met, the intake worker may cancel the deferred prosecution agreement. Within 10 days after the cancellation of the deferred prosecution agreement, the intake worker shall notify the district attorney, corporation counsel or other official under s. 938.09 of the cancellation and recommend whether or not a petition should be filed. In delinquency cases, the district attorney may initiate a petition within 20 days after the date of the notice regardless of whether the intake worker has recommended that a petition be filed. The judge shall grant appropriate relief as provided in s. 938.315 (3) with respect to any petition which is not filed within the time limit specified in this subsection.

AB130,234,7 (b) In addition to the action taken under par. (a), if the intake worker cancels a deferred prosecution agreement based on a determination that the juvenile's parent, guardian or legal custodian is not meeting the obligations imposed under the agreement, the intake worker shall recommend to the district attorney, corporation counsel or other official under s. 938.09 whether or not a petition should be filed requesting the court to order the juvenile's parent, guardian or legal custodian to show good cause for not meeting the obligations imposed under the agreement. If the district attorney, corporation counsel or other official under s. 938.09 files a petition under this paragraph and if the court finds prosecutive merit for the petition, the court shall grant an order directing the parent, guardian or legal custodian to show good cause, at a time and place fixed by the court, for not meeting the obligations imposed under the agreement. If the parent, guardian or legal custodian does not show good cause for not meeting the obligations imposed under the agreement, the court may impose a forfeiture not to exceed $1,000.

AB130,234,12 (8) If the obligations imposed under the deferred prosecution agreement are met, the intake worker shall so inform the juvenile and a parent, guardian and legal custodian in writing, and no petition may be filed or citation issued on the charges that brought about the deferred prosecution agreement nor may the charges be the sole basis for a petition under s. 48.13, 48.14 or 938.13.

AB130,234,15 (9) The intake worker shall perform his or her responsibilities under this section under general written policies which the judge shall promulgate under s. 938.06 (1) or (2).

AB130,234,23 938.25 Petition: authorization to file. (1) A petition initiating proceedings under this chapter shall be signed by a person who has knowledge of the facts alleged or is informed of them and believes them to be true. If a petition under s. 938.12 is to be filed, it shall be prepared, signed and filed by the district attorney. The district attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official specified under s. 938.09 may file the petition if the proceeding is under s. 938.125 or 938.13. The counsel or guardian ad litem for a parent, relative, guardian or juvenile may file a petition under s. 938.13.

AB130,235,16 (2) (a) The district attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official shall file the petition, close the case, or refer the case back to intake within 20 days after the date that the intake worker's recommendation was filed. A referral back to intake may be made only when the district attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official decides not to file a petition or determines that further investigation is necessary. If the case is referred back to intake upon a decision not to file a petition, the intake worker shall close the case or enter into a deferred prosecution agreement within 20 days. If the case is referred back to intake for further investigation, the appropriate agency or person shall complete the investigation within 20 days. If another referral is made to the district attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official, it shall be considered a new referral to which the time limits of this subsection shall apply. The time limits in this subsection may only be extended by a judge upon a showing of good cause under s. 938.315. If a petition is not filed within the time limitations set forth in this subsection and the court has not granted an extension, the petition shall be accompanied by a statement of reasons for the delay. The court shall grant appropriate relief as provided in s. 938.315 (3) with respect to a petition which is not filed within the time limits specified in this paragraph.

AB130,235,25 (b) In delinquency cases where there has been a case closure or deferred prosecution agreement, the petition shall be filed within 20 days of receipt of the notice of closure or deferred prosecution. Failure to file within 20 days invalidates the petition and affirms the case closure or deferred prosecution agreement, except that the court shall grant appropriate relief as provided in s. 938.315 (3) with respect to a petition that is not field within the time limit specified in this paragraph. If a petition is filed within 20 days or the time permitted by the court under s. 938.315 (3), whichever is later, the district attorney shall notify the parties to the agreement and the intake worker as soon as possible.

AB130,236,5 (3) If the district attorney, corporation counsel or other appropriate official under s. 938.09 refuses to file a petition, any person may request the judge to order that the petition be filed and a hearing shall be held on the request. The judge may order the filing of the petition on his or her own motion. The matter may not be heard by the judge who orders the filing of a petition.

AB130,236,6 (4) Section 939.74 applies to delinquency petitions filed under this subchapter.

AB130,236,9 (5) A citation issued under s. 938.17 (2) may serve as the initial pleading and is sufficient to confer the court with jurisdiction over the juvenile when the citation is filed with the court.

AB130,236,17 (6) If a proceeding is brought under s. 938.13, any party to or any governmental or social agency involved in the proceeding may petition the court to issue a temporary restraining order and injunction as provided in s. 813.122 or 813.125. The court shall follow the procedure under s. 813.122 or 813.125 except that the court may combine hearings authorized under s. 813.122 or 813.125 and this chapter, the petitioner for the temporary restraining order and injunction is not subject to the limitations under s. 813.122 (2) or 813.125 (2) and no fee is required regarding the filing of the petition under s. 813.122 or 813.125.

(b) or (c). The court may not order reimbursement if a parent is the complaining or petitioning party or if the court finds that the interests of the parent and the interests of the juvenile in the proceeding are substantially and directly adverse and that reimbursement would be unfair to the parent. The court may not order reimbursement until the completion of the proceeding or until the state or county is no longer providing the juvenile with legal counsel in the proceeding.

AB130,243,11 (d) Reimbursement payments shall be made to the clerk of court of the county where the proceedings took place.

AB130,244,3 938.28 Failure to obey summons; capias. If any person summoned under this subchapter fails without reasonable cause to appear, he or she may be proceeded against for contempt of court. In case the summons cannot be served or the parties served fail to obey the same, or in any case when it appears to the court that the service will be ineffectual a capias may be issued for the parent or guardian or for the juvenile.

Upon filing the written request, the juvenile shall immediately mail or deliver a copy of the request to the judge named therein. In a proceeding under s. 938.12 or 938.13 (12), only the juvenile may request a substitution of the judge. Whenever the juvenile has the right to request a substitution of judge, the juvenile's counsel or guardian ad litem may file the request.

AB130,245,4 (1m) When the clerk receives a request for substitution, the clerk shall immediately contact the judge whose substitution has been requested for a determination of whether the request was made timely and in proper form. Except as provided in sub. (2), if the request is found to be timely and in proper form, the judge named in the request has no further jurisdiction and the clerk shall request the assignment of another judge under s. 751.03. If no determination is made within 7 days, the clerk shall refer the matter to the chief judge of the judicial administrative district for determination of whether the request was made timely and in proper form and reassignment as necessary.

AB130,245,11 (2) If the request for substitution of a judge is made for the judge scheduled to conduct a waiver hearing under s. 938.18, the request shall be filed before the close of the working day preceding the day that the waiver hearing is scheduled.
