Vermont § 5285 - Modification or revocation of disposition

§ 5285. Modification or revocation of disposition

• (a) If it appears that the youth has violated the terms of juvenile probation ordered
  by the court pursuant to subdivision 5284(c)(1) of this title, a motion for modification or revocation of youthful offender status may be filed
  in the Family Division of the Superior Court. The court shall set the motion for hearing
  as soon as practicable. The hearing may be joined with a hearing on a violation of
  conditions of probation under section 5265 of this title. A supervising juvenile or adult probation officer may detain in an adult facility
  a youthful offender who has attained 18 years of age for violating conditions of probation. (b) A hearing under this section shall be held in accordance with section 5268 of this title. (c) If the court finds after the hearing that the youth has violated the terms of his
  or her probation, the court may: (1) maintain the youth’s status as a youthful offender, with modified conditions of juvenile
  probation if the court deems it appropriate; (2) revoke the youth’s status as a youthful offender and transfer the case with a record
  of the petition, affidavit, adjudication, disposition, and revocation to the Criminal
  Division for sentencing; or (3) transfer supervision of the youth to the Department of Corrections with all of the
  powers and authority of the Department and the Commissioner under Title 28, including
  graduated sanctions and electronic monitoring. (d) If a youth’s status as a youthful offender is revoked and the case is transferred
  to the Criminal Division pursuant to subdivision (c)(2) of this section, the court
  shall enter a conviction of guilty based on the admission to or finding of merits,
  hold a sentencing hearing, and impose sentence. Unless it serves the interest of justice,
  the case shall not be transferred back to the Family Division pursuant to section 5203 of this title. When determining an appropriate sentence, the court may take into consideration
  the youth’s degree of progress toward or regression from rehabilitation while on youthful
  offender status. The Criminal Division shall have access to all Family Division records
  of the proceeding. (Added 2017, No. 72, § 5, eff. July 1, 2018; amended 2017, No. 201 (Adj. Sess.), § 10; 2019, No. 45, § 8, eff. May 30, 2019.)
