Excerpt of Relevant Text:
(1) Upon completion of the sentencing hearing pursuant to section 19-2.5-1102, the court shall enter a decree of sentence or commitment imposing any of the following sentences or combination of sentences, as appropriate: […]
(l) Participation in an evaluation to determine whether the juvenile would be suitable for restorative justice practices that would be a part of the juvenile’s sentence; except that the court may not order participation in restorative justice practices if the juvenile was adjudicated a delinquent for unlawful sexual behavior, as defined in section 16-22-102(9); a crime in which the underlying factual basis involves domestic violence, as defined in section 18-6-800.3(1); stalking, as defined in section 18-3-602; or violation of a protection order, as defined in section 18-6-803.5. If the court orders participation in restorative justice practices, the facilitator shall provide these services for a fee of no more than one hundred twenty-five dollars based on a sliding scale consistent with guidelines used to determine eligibility for appointment of counsel. The court shall not include payment of this fee as part of any court order. Nothing in this subsection (1)(l) requires a victim to participate in a restorative justice victim-offender conference.
