A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to require juveniles to submit requests for review of extended commitment decisions within ten days of receipt of the notification of extended commitment.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 7B‑2515(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c)	The juvenile and the juvenile's parent, guardian, or custodian may request a review by the court of the Department's decision to extend the juvenile's commitment beyond the juvenile's eighteenth birthday or maximum commitment period within 10 days of receipt of the written notification that the Department plans to extend the juvenile's commitment. The court shall conduct a review hearing upon receipt of a request for review authorized by this subsection. The court may modify the Department's decision and the juvenile's maximum commitment period. If the juvenile or the juvenile's parent, guardian, or custodian does not request a review of the Department's decision, the Department's decision shall become the juvenile's new maximum commitment period."
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 2001, and applies to decisions of the Department to extend commitment noticed on or after that date.
