§346-242  Review hearings. Except
for good cause shown, the court shall set each case for a review hearing not
later than six months after the date that a protective order and protective
services plan are ordered by the court.  Thereafter, the court shall review the
matter at intervals of not longer than six months until the court's
jurisdiction has been terminated.  The department and the guardian ad litem, if
any, shall submit a written report, with copies to the parties or their
counsel, at least fifteen days prior to the date set for each review.  The
report shall evaluate whether the parties have complied with the terms and
conditions of the protective order and protective services plan; shall
recommend any modification to the order or plan; and shall recommend whether
the court shall retain jurisdiction or terminate the case.  At each review, the
court shall determine whether the parties have complied with the terms and
conditions of the order and plan; enforce sanctions for noncompliance as may be
appropriate; and order revisions to the existing order or plan as are in the
best interests of the vulnerable adult.  At each review, the court shall make
an express finding as to whether it shall retain jurisdiction or terminate the
case, and, in each instance, shall state the basis for its action. [L 1989, c
