Except as otherwise provided by KRS Chapters 605 and 635, an order of
commitment or an order of supervision or probation made by the court in the case of
a child may be terminated at any time prior to expiration on the court's own
initiative or on motion by:
(a) A child who is affected by an order of juvenile session of District Court;
(b) The family, custodian, guardian, or legal representative of such a child;
(c) The Department of Juvenile Justice or the cabinet;
(d) The county attorney of the county in which the committing court presides; or

Grounds for such action may include but are not limited to allegations that there has
been a substantial change of material circumstances, there exists new evidence
affecting the disposition of the child, the child is no longer in need of commitment,
probation, or placement, the child has not responded to or benefited from treatment
or the child has not received adequate and proper treatment, the original
proceedings were not conducted in the manner required by law or the public interest
requires termination of the order. Upon review of the child's case, the Department
of Juvenile Justice, the cabinet, any agency, facility, or individual responsible for
the supervision, care, or treatment of the child shall divulge and communicate such
information regarding the child as the court may require.

termination of an order of commitment, the Department of Juvenile Justice or the
cabinet shall prepare a summary of the information concerning the child and submit
it with written notification to the committing court that a child's commitment is due
to expire.
