The Supreme Court shall establish rules, pursuant to § 16-3-1 , to develop a graduated sanctions and incentives procedure and grid to guide court services officers in determining the appropriate response to a violation of terms or conditions of probation in juvenile cases. If the graduated sanctions program includes detention, a stay may not exceed forty-eight hours, and may not exceed twenty-four hours for children in need of supervision pursuant to § 26-8B-3 . The Unified Judicial System shall collect data related to the use of sanctions, grid compliance and program outcomes, and shall include a process for reviewing sanctions that are challenged by the juvenile. The system of graduated sanctions shall be created with the following objectives: (1) Responding to violations of probation quickly, consistently, and proportionally; (2) Reducing the time and resources expended by the court to respond to violations; and (3) Reducing the likelihood of a new delinquent act.
