20-530. Reassessment of committed juveniles -- Records -- Failure to reassess. (1) The department shall make periodic reassessments of all juveniles committed to it for the purpose of determining whether existing orders and dispositions in individual cases should be modified or continued in force. Assessments may be made as frequently as the department considers desirable and shall be made with respect to every juvenile at intervals not exceeding one (1) year. Reports of periodic reassessments made pursuant to this section shall be filed with the court from which the juvenile was committed.

(2) The department shall keep written records of assessments, prognosis, and all orders concerning disposition or treatment of every juvenile committed to it.

(3) Failure of the department to assess a committed juvenile or to reassess him within one (1) year of a previous assessment shall not of itself entitle the juvenile to discharge from the control of the department but shall entitle him to petition the committing court for an order of discharge and the court shall discharge him unless the department satisfies the court of the need for further control.
