Whenever any juvenile has been committed to the Department of Health and Human
Services, the department shall follow the court's orders, if any, concerning
the juvenile's specific needs for treatment or special care for his or her
physical well-being and healthy personality. If the court finds any such juvenile
to be a person with an
intellectual disability, the court may, upon attaching a physician's
certificate and a report as to the mental capacity of such person, commit
such juvenile directly to an authorized and appropriate state or local facility
or home.
The marriage of any juvenile committed to a state institution
under the age of nineteen years shall not make such juvenile of the age of
majority.
A juvenile committed to any such institution shall be subject
to the control of the superintendent thereof, and the superintendent, with
the advice and consent of the Department of Health and Human Services, shall
adopt and promulgate rules and regulations for the promotion, paroling, and
final discharge of residents such as shall be considered mutually beneficial
for the institution and the residents. Upon final discharge of any resident,
such department shall file a certified copy of the discharge with the court
which committed the resident.
