A. The terms and conditions of probation shall be specified by rules or orders of the Court. The Court, as a condition of probation for a child who is fourteen (14) years of age or older, but less than eighteen (18) years of age on the date of the dispositional hearing, has the power to impose a commitment, placement or detention, whether continuous or at designated intervals. Each child placed on probation shall be given a written statement of the terms and conditions of probation and shall have the terms and conditions fully explained in a language that he or she understands.

B. The Court shall review the terms and conditions of probation and the progress of each child placed on probation at least once every six months.

C. The Court may release a child from probation or modify the terms and conditions of his or her probation at any time, but any child who has complied satisfactorily with the terms and conditions of his or her probation shall be released from probation and the jurisdiction of the Court shall be terminated:

1. When it is alleged that a child has violated the terms and conditions of his or her probation, the Court shall set a hearing on the alleged violation and shall give notice to the child and parents, guardian or other custodian and any other parties to the proceedings;

2. The child, parents, guardian or other custodian shall be given a written statement concerning the alleged violation and shall have the right to be represented by counsel at the hearing, at his or her or their own costs, and shall be entitled to the issuance of compulsory process for the attendance of witnesses;

3. The hearing on the alleged violation shall be conducted as soon as possible.

D. If the Court finds that the child violated the terms and conditions of probation it may modify the terms and conditions of probation, revoke probation or take such other action permitted by this chapter which is in the best interest of the child and the Osage Nation.

E. If the Court finds that the child did not violate the terms and conditions of probation as alleged, it shall dismiss the proceedings and continue the child on probation under the terms and conditions previously described.

F. If the Court revokes the probation of a person over eighteen (18) years of age, in addition to other actions permitted by this chapter, the Court may incarcerate for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days during which the probationer may be released during the day for school attendance, job training or employment as ordered by the Court.
