For cases under this article in which the provisions of section three, article five-d of this chapter apply, the court wherein the juvenile proceeding is pending shall conduct regular judicial review of the case with the multidisciplinary treatment team and a juvenile probation officer in attendance. Such judicial review may be conducted as often as is considered necessary by the court, but shall be conducted at least once every three calendar months as long as the child remains in the legal or physical custody of the state.
In conducting the judicial review required by this section, the court shall address the extent of progress in the case, treatment and service needs, permanent placement planning for the juvenile, any uncontested issues and any other matters that the court considers pertinent. An order reflecting the matters considered, any uncontested rulings and the scheduling of an evidentiary hearing on any contested issue shall be issued by the court within ten judicial days of the judicial review.
