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.

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)

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.

938.335 the court explained those conditions to the juvenile and informed the juvenile of the possible sanctions under this paragraph 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 court may not impose a sanction under this paragraph on a juvenile who is subject to an order under this section or s.
938.357 or
938.365 that terminates as provided in sub.
(4) (am) 4. or s.
938.357 (6) (a) 4. or
938.365 (5) (b) 4. The court may order as a sanction under this paragraph any of the following:
938.355(6m)(a)1g.
1g. Placement of the juvenile in a juvenile detention facility or juvenile portion of a county jail that meets the standards promulgated by the department of corrections 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. The use of placement in a juvenile detention facility or in a juvenile portion of a county jail as a sanction under this subdivision is subject to the adoption of a resolution by the county board of supervisors under s.
938.06 (5) authorizing the use of those placements as a sanction. 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(6m)(a)1m.
1m. Suspension 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.

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 or limitation 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 a juvenile's operating privilege 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 a notice stating the reason for and the duration of the suspension, together with any approval of which the court takes possession.
938.355(6m)(a)2.

938.355(6m)(a)4.
4. 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

(a) and the dispositions specified in s.
938.342 (1g) (b) to
(k) and
(1m), regardless of whether the disposition was imposed in the order violated by the juvenile. A sanction may be imposed under this paragraph only if at the dispositional hearing under s.
938.335 the court explained those conditions to the juvenile and informed the juvenile of the possible sanctions under this paragraph 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.
938.355(6m)(am)1.1. If a juvenile who has violated a municipal ordinance enacted under s.
118.163 (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 specified in par.
(a) 1g. 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 that possible sanction 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 that possible sanction and that he or she understands those conditions and that possible sanction. 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.

Motion for sanction. A motion for the imposition of a sanction under par.
(a) or
(ag) may be brought by the person or agency primarily responsible for providing dispositional services to the juvenile, the district attorney, the 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.
938.355(6m)(bm)
(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 (6) or who has been adjudged to have violated an ordinance enacted under s.
118.163 (2), and if the motion is seeking removal of the juvenile from the home of his or her parent or Indian custodian and placement in a place of nonsecure custody specified in par.
(a) 1g., 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(6m)(c)
(c)
Sanction hearing. Before imposing a sanction under par.
(a) or
(ag), the court shall hold a hearing at which the juvenile is entitled to be represented by legal counsel and to present evidence. Except as provided in par.
(bm), the hearing shall be held within 15 days after the filing of a motion under par.
(b).
938.355(6m)(cm)
(cm)
Reasonable efforts finding. The court may not order the sanction of placement in a place of nonsecure custody under par.
(a) 1g. 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. 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(6m)(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 (6) or who has been adjudged to have violated an ordinance enacted under s.
118.163 (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.
(a) 1g., 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(7)
(7) Orders applicable to parents, guardians, legal custodians, and other adults. In addition to any dispositional order entered under s.
938.34 or
938.345, the court may enter an order applicable to a juvenile's parent, guardian, or legal custodian or to another adult, as provided under s.
938.45.

430 N.W.2d 352 (Ct. App. 1988).
938.355 Annotation
Section 118.16 (5) does not limit a court's discretion in setting school attendance requirements in a dispositional order for a delinquent juvenile and in imposing sanctions when the order is violated. By its terms, s. 118.16 (5) is limited to children who are in need of protection and services as a result of being habitual truants. State v. Jason R.N.,
201 Wis. 2d 646,
549 N.W.2d 752 (Ct. App. 1996),
95-1728.
938.355 Annotation
There is no requirement that the court apply the sanctions in sub. (6) (d) in graduated order of severity. Sanctions are solely within the discretion of the court. State v. Jason R.N.,
201 Wis. 2d 646,
549 N.W.2d 752 (Ct. App. 1996),
95-1728.
938.355 Annotation
Sanctions for a violation of a dispositional order by a delinquent were found to not be punitive for purposes of double jeopardy. Craig S.G. v. State,
209 Wis. 2d 65,

938.355 Annotation
All juveniles who violate a condition of a dispositional order are subject to sanctions under sub. (6) (d), but the restrictions that may be imposed on habitual truants are limited by sub. (6m). Under sub. (6g), no juvenile can be charged with contempt of court for the first violation of a dispositional order. State v. Aaron D.,
214 Wis. 2d 56,
571 N.W.2d 399 (Ct. App. 1997),
