4-13-1. Findings of Jurisdictional Facts – Disposition of Case.
When a child is found to come within the provisions of Section 4-3-1 of this Code, the Court shall so adjudicate, and make findings of the facts upon which it bases its jurisdiction over the child, and shall enter its decree. Upon such adjudication, the Court may make the following dispositions by Court order:
(1) Place the child on probation or under protective supervision (as these terms are defined herein) in his own home, upon conditions determined by the Court
(2) Place the child in the legal custody of a relative or other suitable person, with or without probation or protective supervision;
(3) Vest legal custody of the child in the Utah State Division of Family Services or other public agency, department, or institution, or in a child placement agency as defined herein, for placement in a foster family home or other facility, not including the Utah State Industrial School or any similar institution, and not including Utah State Hospital or the Utah State Training School or any similar institution;
(4) Commit the child to an authorized industrial school, state training school, or other training or corrective institution authorized to receive Indian children, except that a child found to come within the Court’s jurisdiction solely on the ground of neglect or dependency under Section 4-3-1 of this Code, may not be committed to an industrial school or any other similar institution within or without the State of Utah;
(5) The Court may commit the child to an institution or facility for short-term confinement or for the purpose of study and evaluation that may be established or may accept children in accordance with accepted standards for the care and treatment of delinquent children;
(6) Place the child in an approved Indian boarding school, on a ranch, a forestry camp, or other camp or a similar facility, for care, and for work, if possible, provided that the person, agency or association operating the facility has been approved by the Business Committee, or has otherwise complied with all applicable Tribal, state and local laws. The child placed in a forestry camp or similar facility may be required to work on fire prevention, forestation, and reforestation, recreational works, forest roads, and on other works on or off the grounds of such facility, and may be paid wages, all subject to the approval of, and under conditions set by, the Court;
(7) If the Court has assurance that the responsibility to make payments will rest on the child, and not on his parents, guardian, or custodian, it may order that the child be required to make restitution for damage or loss caused by his wrongful acts, and may impose fines not to exceed $500.00;
(8) Arrange for employment or work programs, to enable children to fulfill their obligations under Subsection 7 of this Section, and for other purposes when deemed desirable by the Court;
(9) In cases of violations of traffic laws or ordinances, the Court may, in addition to any other disposition, restrain the child from driving for such period of time as the Court deems necessary, and may take possession of the child’s driver’s license;
(10) Order that the child be examined or treated by a physician, surgeon, psychiatrist, or psychologist, or that he receive other special care, and for such purposes may place the child in a hospital or other suitable facility;
(11) Appoint a guardian for the child where it appears necessary to do so in the interest of the child, and may appoint a public or private institution or agency in which legal custody of the child is vested, as such guardian.
