20.9.315    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO HEARING

(1) At any time prior to the hearing, the youth may, upon the advice of an attorney, waive his/her right to the hearing on a form provided by the Youth Services Division for that purpose. A waiver of the hearing constitutes an admission by the youth of the alleged violations and authorizes the hearings officer to render a decision on the youth's placement in a youth correctional facility or in the community. A youth not represented by an attorney may not waive the right to a hearing.
