635.080 Jurisdiction for second offenses -- Work program orders.
(1)
(2)
If a child who has not reached his eighteenth birthday commits a new offense
while under the jurisdiction of the court or during the period of commitment, the
court of the county where the new offense is committed shall have jurisdiction
of the new offense for purposes of adjudication but may transfer the case for
disposition to the court having jurisdiction of the prior offense.
If a child has been adjudicated a status or public offender, the court in its
discretion may order participation in a community services work program. If the
child is committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice on a previous offense,
the child shall not be released from commitment if ordered to a work program
until the completion of his commitment. The work program shall be of a
constructive nature designed to promote the rehabilitation of the child. The
program shall be appropriate to the age level and physical ability of the child
and shall be combined with counseling and supervision from a probation officer
or other responsible person. The work program shall not be scheduled during
such times that would interfere with educational, occupational, or religious
obligations of the child. Assignment to a community services work program
shall be made to a governmental or nonprofit community organization for a
specified period of time, not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) hours. A child
may be directed to participate in a community services work program as
provided in this subsection for the purposes of restitution. Participation in
community-services-related projects shall not be deemed employment for any
purpose, and the child shall not be deemed an employee or agent of the entity
for which he performs the community service work.
