A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REQUIRE THAT A DELINQUENT JUVENILE ON PROBATION AND REQUIRED TO ATTEND SCHOOL AS A CONDITION OF PROBATION BE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A PASSING GRADE IN FOUR COURSES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 7A-649(8) reads as rewritten:
"(8)	Place the juvenile on probation under the supervision of a court counselor. In any case where a juvenile is placed on probation, the court counselor shall have the authority to visit the juvenile where he resides. The judge shall specify conditions of probation that are related to the needs of the juvenile including any of the following which apply:
a.	That the juvenile shall remain on good behavior and not violate any laws;
b.	That the juvenile attend school regularly and maintain a passing grade in four courses during each grading period;
c.	That the juvenile not associate with specified persons or be in specified places;
d.	That the juvenile report to a court counselor as often as required by a court counselor;
e.	That the juvenile make specified financial restitution or pay a fine in accordance with subdivisions (2) and (3);
f.	That the juvenile be employed regularly if not attending school.
	An order of probation shall remain in force for a period not to exceed one year from the date entered. Prior to expiration of an order of probation, the judge may extend it for an additional period of one year after a hearing if he finds that the extension is necessary to protect the community or to safeguard the welfare of the juvenile;".
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 1993, and applies to orders of probation for adjudications of delinquency for acts committed on or after that date.
