If the Director of the Department of Corrections (“Director”) determines that a youth offender will derive no further benefit from the treatment pursuant to this subchapter, the Director shall notify the youth offender of this determination in a written statement that includes the following: Notice that the youth offender may appeal the Director’s determination to the sentencing judge in writing within 30 days of the youth offender’s receipt of the Director’s statement required by this section; Specific reasons for the Director’s no further benefit determination; and Notice that an appeal by the youth offender to the sentencing judge will stay any action by the Director regarding a change in the youth offender’s status until the sentencing judge makes a determination on the appeal. The decision of the sentencing judge on the appeal of the youth offender shall be considered a final disposition of the appeal and shall preclude further action by the Director to change the status of a youth offender for a 6-month period from the date of the sentencing judge’s decision. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not apply to a youth offender convicted of any offense committed on or after August 5, 2000.
