The county court or board of commissioners of a county may institute an examination of the county’s juvenile detention facility and establish its capacity in accordance with constitutional standards. If a county court or board of commissioners adopts a capacity limit and that limit is exceeded, the county, through the juvenile department director, shall immediately notify the judge of the juvenile court who shall authorize the release of a sufficient number of detainees to reduce the population of the detention facility to the established capacity. [1993 c.33 §10; 2003 c.396 §11]
