to the supervision of child or minor on parole.
[fH 699]

Approved April 3, 1962

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 16.1-210 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:
§ 16.1-210. When the Department returns a child or minor who has
been committed to its custody to a local community for supervision, the
Director may return the child or minor to either the local juvenile and
domestic relations court or to the local department of public welfare of
the community; provided, however, that whenever any child or minor
is committed to the Department by a court of record, such child or minor
may, upon request of the judge of such court, be returned to such com-
mitting court by the Department. The agency to which the child or minor is
returned for supervision shall accept responsibility for this service. When
a child or minor is so paroled for local supervision, he shall be deemed to be
still in the custody of the Department.

The local supervising agency shall furnish such child or minor a
written statement of the conditions of his parole and shall instruct him
regarding the same. In the event it is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the child or minor has violated the terms of his parole,
the child or minor may then be returned to the Department.
