(a) In granting a home leave, the institution shall fix

conditions may be special in each case or may be prescribed by
general rules and regulations of the department of family
services in consultation with the institution.

youth has been released and abide by the laws of the state. The
agreement shall be retained in the records of the institution.
In addition, no youth shall be granted a home leave until the
institution makes a reasonable effort to notify the department
of family services' office nearest the site of the home leave.
(c) A youth on home leave remains in the legal custody and
under the control of the department and may be returned to the
institution from which the youth was granted home leave for
violation of a condition of home leave.
(d) Unless otherwise placed by the department, a home
leave violator shall be returned to the institution from which
the youth was granted home leave.
