s. 938.30 (6) (b) or
(c) or
938.31 (7) (b) or
(c), an order for the parent to provide that statement to the county department by a date specified by the court. The county department shall provide, without charge, to the parent a form on which to provide that statement, and the parent shall provide that statement on the form.

938.355(2)(b)6r.
6r. If the court finds that any of the circumstances under
sub. (2d) (b) 1. to

938.355(2e)(c)
(c) Either the court or the agency that prepared the permanency plan shall furnish a copy of the original plan and each revised plan to the juvenile's parent or guardian, to the juvenile or the juvenile's counsel or guardian ad litem and to the person representing the interests of the public.

subd. 2., the court may not grant visitation under
par. (a) to a parent of a juvenile if the parent has been convicted of the homicide of the juvenile's other parent under

938.355(3)(b)2.

(7),
(12), or
(14) violates a condition specified in
sub. (2) (b) 7., the court may impose on the juvenile any of the sanctions under
par. (d), other than placement in a juvenile detention facility or juvenile portion of a county jail. A sanction may be imposed under this subdivision only if, at the dispositional hearing under
s. 938.335, the court explained the conditions to the juvenile and informed the juvenile of those possible sanctions or if before the violation the juvenile has acknowledged in writing that he or she has read, or has had read to him or her, those conditions and possible sanctions and that he or she understands those conditions and possible sanctions.
938.355(6)(an)1.1. If a juvenile who has violated a municipal ordinance, other than an ordinance enacted under
s. 118.163 (1m) or
(2), violates a condition of a dispositional order imposed by the municipal court, the municipal court may petition the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 to impose on the juvenile the sanction under
par. (d) 1. or the sanction under
par. (d) 3., with monitoring by an electronic monitoring system. A sanction may be imposed under this subdivision only if, at the time of the judgment, the municipal court explained the conditions to the juvenile and informed the juvenile of those possible sanctions for a violation or if before the violation the juvenile has acknowledged in writing that he or she has read, or has had read to him or her, those conditions and possible sanctions and that he or she understands those conditions and possible sanctions. The petition shall contain a statement of whether the juvenile may be subject to the federal Indian Child Welfare Act,
25 USC 1901 to
1963, and, if the juvenile may be subject to that act, the names and addresses of the juvenile's Indian custodian, if any, and tribe, if known.
938.355(6)(an)2.
2. If the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under this chapter and
ch. 48 imposes the sanction under
par. (d) 1. or home detention with monitoring by an electronic monitoring system under
par. (d) 3., on a petition described in
subd. 1., the court shall order the municipality of the municipal court that filed the petition to pay to the county the cost of providing the sanction imposed under
par. (d) 1. or
3.
938.355(6)(b)
(b)
Motion to impose sanction. A motion for imposition of a sanction may be brought by the person or agency primarily responsible for the provision of dispositional services, the district attorney or corporation counsel, or the court that entered the dispositional order. If the court initiates the motion, that court is disqualified from holding a hearing on the motion. Notice of the motion shall be given to the juvenile, guardian ad litem, counsel, parent, guardian, legal custodian, and all parties present at the original dispositional hearing. The motion shall contain a statement of whether the juvenile may be subject to the federal Indian Child Welfare Act,
25 USC 1901 to
1963 and, if the juvenile may be subject to that act, the names and addresses of the juvenile's Indian custodian, if any, and tribe, if known.
938.355(6)(bm)

Indian juvenile; notice. If the person initiating the motion knows or has reason to know that the juvenile is an Indian juvenile who has been found to be in need of protection or services under
s. 938.13 (4),
(6m), or
(7) or who has been adjudged to have violated a civil law or ordinance, other than an ordinance enacted under
s. 118.163 (1m) or
(2), and if the motion is seeking removal of the juvenile from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian and placement of the juvenile in a place of nonsecure custody specified in
par. (d) 1., notice under
par. (b) to the Indian juvenile's parent shall be provided in the manner specified in
s. 938.028 (4) (a). In like manner, the court shall also notify the Indian juvenile's Indian custodian and tribe. No hearing may be held under
par. (c) until at least 10 days after receipt of the notice by the Indian juvenile's parent, Indian custodian, and tribe or, if the identity or location of the Indian juvenile's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe cannot be determined, until at least 15 days after receipt of the notice by the U.S. secretary of the interior. On request of the Indian juvenile's parent, Indian custodian, or tribe, the court shall grant a continuance of up to 20 additional days to enable the requester to prepare for the hearing.
938.355(6)(c)
(c)
Sanction hearing. Before imposing any sanction, the court shall hold a hearing, at which the juvenile is entitled to be represented by legal counsel and to present evidence.
938.355(6)(cm)
(cm)
Reasonable efforts finding. The court may not order the sanction of placement in a place of nonsecure custody specified in
par. (d) 1. unless the court finds that the agency primarily responsible for providing services for the juvenile has made reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of the juvenile from his or her home and that continued placement of the juvenile in his or her home is contrary to the welfare of the juvenile. These findings are not required if they were made in the dispositional order under which the juvenile is being sanctioned. The court shall make the findings under this paragraph on a case-by-case basis based on circumstances specific to the juvenile and shall document or reference the specific information on which that finding is based in the sanction order. A sanction order that merely references this paragraph without documenting or referencing that specific information in the sanction order or an amended sanction order that retroactively corrects an earlier sanction order that does not comply with this paragraph is not sufficient to comply with this paragraph.
938.355(6)(cr)
(cr)
Indian juvenile; findings. In the case of an Indian juvenile who has been found to be in need of protection or services under
s. 938.13 (4),
(6m), or
(7) or who has been adjudged to have violated a civil law or ordinance, other than an ordinance enacted under
s. 118.163 (1m) or
(2), the court may not order the sanction of removal from the home of the Indian juvenile's parent or Indian custodian and placement in a place of nonsecure custody specified in
par. (d) 1., unless the court finds by clear and convincing evidence, including the testimony of one or more qualified expert witnesses, that continued custody of the Indian juvenile by the parent or Indian custodian is likely to result in serious emotional or physical damage to the juvenile under
s. 938.028 (4) (d) 1. and the court finds that active efforts under
s. 938.028 (4) (d) 2. have been made to prevent the breakup of the Indian juvenile's family and that those efforts have proved unsuccessful. These findings are not required if they were made in the dispositional order under which the juvenile is being sanctioned. The findings under this paragraph shall be in addition to the findings under
par. (cm), except that for the sole purpose of determining whether the cost of providing care for an Indian juvenile is eligible for reimbursement under
42 USC 670 to
679b, the findings under this paragraph and the findings under
par. (cm) shall be considered to be the same findings.
938.355(6)(d)
(d)
Sanctions permitted. If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the juvenile has violated a condition of his or her dispositional order, the court may order any of the following sanctions as a consequence for any incident in which the juvenile has violated one or more conditions of his or her dispositional order:
938.355(6)(d)1.
1. Placement of the juvenile in a juvenile detention facility or juvenile portion of a county jail that meets the standards promulgated by the department by rule or in a place of nonsecure custody, for not more than 10 days and the provision of educational services consistent with his or her current course of study during the period of placement. The juvenile shall be given credit against the period of detention or nonsecure custody imposed under this subdivision for all time spent in secure detention in connection with the course of conduct for which the detention or nonsecure custody was imposed. If the court orders placement of the juvenile in a place of nonsecure custody under the supervision of the county department, the court shall order the juvenile into the placement and care responsibility of the county department as required under
42 USC 672 (a) (2) and shall assign the county department primary responsibility for providing services to the juvenile.
938.355(6)(d)2.
2. Suspension of or limitation on the use of the juvenile's operating privilege, as defined under
s. 340.01 (40), or of any approval issued under
ch. 29 for a period of not more than 3 years. If the juvenile does not hold a valid operator's license under
ch. 343, other than an instruction permit under
s. 343.07 or a restricted license under
s. 343.08, on the date of the order issued under this subdivision, the court may order the suspension to begin on the date on which the juvenile is first eligible for issuance or reinstatement of an operator's license under
ch. 343. If the court suspends the juvenile's operating privileges or an approval issued under
ch. 29, the court shall immediately take possession of the suspended approval and may take possession of, and if possession is taken, shall destroy, the suspended license. The court shall forward to the department that issued the license or approval the notice of suspension, together with any approval of which the court takes possession.
938.355(6)(d)3.
3. Detention in the juvenile's home or current residence for a period of not more than 30 days under rules of supervision specified in the order. An order under this subdivision may require the juvenile to be monitored by an electronic monitoring system.
938.355(6)(d)4.
4. Not more than 25 hours of uncompensated participation in a supervised work program or other community service work under
s. 938.34 (5g).
938.355(6)(d)5.
5. Participation after school, in the evening, on weekends, on other nonschool days, or at any other time that the juvenile is not under immediate adult supervision, in the social, behavioral, academic, community service, and other programming of a youth report center.
Subdivision 4. and
s. 938.34 (5g) apply to any community service work performed by a juvenile under this subdivision.
