§ 23-23-108 — Limitation on admissions - report - disposition of children

The
director of the Colorado children's diagnostic center shall determine whether a
child referred by an institution or by a district or juvenile court shall be accepted for
study and evaluation at the diagnostic center. Such determination shall be based on
the adequacy and availability of local facilities, including local community mental
health clinics, for such study and evaluation, the emergency nature of the referral,
and the number of children currently being studied and evaluated and waiting to be
studied and evaluated at the diagnostic center. Said diagnostic center upon
completion of its study and evaluation in each case shall make its report in writing
to said director; whereupon, the child shall forthwith be returned to the institution
from which he came or committed or sentenced to the appropriate institution and
removed thereto without delay.
