1.  The juvenile is not charged with a subsequent offense.

2.  The juvenile has not been found in violation of a condition of probation.

C.  If a juvenile is adjudicated as a first time felony juvenile offender, the court shall provide the following written notice to the juvenile:

You have been adjudicated a first time felony juvenile offender.  You are now on notice that if you are adjudicated of another offense that would be a felony offense if committed by an adult and if you commit the other offense when you are fourteen years of age or older, you will be placed on juvenile intensive probation, which may include home arrest and electronic monitoring, or you may be placed on juvenile intensive probation and may be incarcerated for a period of time in a juvenile detention center, or you may be committed to the department of juvenile corrections or you may be prosecuted as an adult.  If you are convicted as an adult of a felony offense and you commit any other offense, you will be prosecuted as an adult.

D.  If a juvenile is fourteen years of age or older and is adjudicated as a repeat felony juvenile offender, the juvenile court shall place the juvenile on juvenile intensive probation, which may include home arrest and electronic monitoring, may place the juvenile on juvenile intensive probation, which may include incarceration for a period of time in a juvenile detention center, or may commit the juvenile to the department of juvenile corrections pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 1, subdivision (e) of this section for a significant period of time.

F.  The failure or inability of the court to provide the notices required under subsections C and E of this section does not preclude the use of the prior adjudications for any purpose otherwise permitted.

G.  Except as provided in subsection S of this section, after considering the nature of the offense and the age, physical and mental condition and earning capacity of the juvenile, the court shall order the juvenile to pay a reasonable monetary assessment if the court determines that an assessment is in aid of rehabilitation.  If the director of the department of juvenile corrections determines that enforcement of an order for monetary assessment as a term and condition of conditional liberty is not cost‑effective, the director may require the youth to perform an equivalent amount of community restitution in lieu of the payment ordered as a condition of conditional liberty.

K.  If a juvenile is committed to the department of juvenile corrections, the court shall specify the amount of the monetary assessment imposed pursuant to subsection G or H of this section.

L.  After considering the length of stay guidelines developed pursuant to section 41‑2816, subsection C, the court may set forth in the order of commitment the minimum period during which the juvenile shall remain in secure care while in the custody of the department of juvenile corrections. When the court awards a juvenile to the department of juvenile corrections or an institution or agency, it shall transmit with the order of commitment copies of a diagnostic psychological evaluation and educational assessment if one has been administered, copies of the case report, all other psychological and medical reports, restitution orders, any request for postadjudication notice that has been submitted by a victim and any other documents or records pertaining to the case requested by the department of juvenile corrections or an institution or agency.  The department shall not release a juvenile from secure care before the juvenile completes the length of stay determined by the court in the commitment order unless the county attorney in the county from which the juvenile was committed requests the committing court to reduce the length of stay.  The department may temporarily escort the juvenile from secure care pursuant to section 41-2804, may release the juvenile from secure care without a further court order after the juvenile completes the length of stay determined by the court or may retain the juvenile in secure care for any period subsequent to the completion of the length of stay in accordance with the law.

N.  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if a person is under the supervision of the court as an adjudicated delinquent juvenile at the time the person reaches eighteen years of age, treatment services may be provided until the person reaches twenty‑one years of age if the court, the person and the state agree to the provision of the treatment and a motion to transfer the person pursuant to section 8‑327 has not been filed or has been withdrawn.  The court may terminate the provision of treatment services after the person reaches eighteen years of age if the court determines that any of the following applies:

1.  The person is not progressing toward treatment goals.

2.  The person terminates treatment.

3.  The person commits a new offense after reaching eighteen years of age.

4.  Continued treatment is not required or is not in the best interests of the state or the person.

O.  On the request of a victim of an act that may have involved significant exposure as defined in section 13‑1415 or that if committed by an adult would be a sexual offense, the prosecuting attorney shall petition the adjudicating court to require that the juvenile be tested for the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus.  If the victim is a minor the prosecuting attorney shall file this petition at the request of the victim's parent or guardian.  If the act committed against a victim is an act that if committed by an adult would be a sexual offense or the court determines that sufficient evidence exists to indicate that significant exposure occurred, it shall order the department of juvenile corrections or the department of health services to test the juvenile pursuant to section 13‑1415.  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the department of juvenile corrections and the department of health services shall release the test results only to the victim, the delinquent juvenile, the delinquent juvenile's parent or guardian and a minor victim's parent or guardian and shall counsel them regarding the meaning and health implications of the results.

P.  If a juvenile has been adjudicated delinquent for an offense that if committed by an adult would be a felony, the court shall provide the department of public safety Arizona automated fingerprint identification system established in section 41‑2411 with the juvenile's fingerprints, personal identification data and other pertinent information.  If a juvenile has been committed to the department of juvenile corrections the department shall provide the fingerprints and information required by this subsection to the Arizona automated fingerprint identification system.  If the juvenile's fingerprints and information have been previously submitted to the Arizona automated fingerprint identification system the information is not required to be resubmitted.

R.  If a juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for an offense that if committed by an adult would be a misdemeanor, the court may prohibit the juvenile from carrying or possessing a firearm while the juvenile is under the jurisdiction of the department of juvenile corrections or the juvenile court.

S.  If a juvenile is adjudicated delinquent for a violation of section 13‑1602, subsection A, paragraph 1 or 5, the court shall do all of the following:

3.  Order the juvenile to perform at least ___ hours of community restitution.  The court may order the juvenile to perform additional community restitution in lieu of the payment for all or part of the fine imposed pursuant to paragraph 1 of this subsection if it is in the best interests of the juvenile.  The amount of community restitution ordered in lieu of the fine shall be equivalent to the amount of the fine by crediting any service performed at a rate of ten dollars per hour.  If the juvenile is convicted of a second or subsequent violation of section 13‑1602, subsection A, paragraph 1 or 5 and is ordered to perform community restitution, the court may order the parent or guardian of the juvenile to assist the juvenile in the performance of the community restitution if both of the following apply:
