Investigation of social history of juvenile; mental health examination for offenses indicating sexual abnormality. Requires a juvenile and domestic relations court or a circuit court that has adjudicated a juvenile delinquent of an offense that indicates sexual abnormality, upon application of the attorney for the Commonwealth, the defendant, or counsel for the defendant, to order that the juvenile be examined by at least one psychiatrist or clinical psychologist and that a report be prepared and included in the juvenile's investigation of social history report. The bill allows the court to order such evaluation on his own initiative. If the person examining the juvenile determines that an adequate evaluation of the juvenile can only be performed in an inpatient hospital setting, the court shall have the power to send the juvenile to a state mental hospital for not more than 10 days for the purpose of performing an adequate examination.
