1. “(b) Time limits. When the [child] is in detention, the dispositional hearing shall begin within twenty days from the date the adjudicatory hearing was concluded or an admission of the factual allegations of the petition was accepted by the court, except as provided herein. The court may order that the [child] be transferred to an appropriate facility of the department of corrections for a period of not more than sixty days with respect to a child adjudicated as a child in need of supervision and for a period of not more than ninety days with respect to a child adjudicated as a delinquent for purposes of diagnosis and education. If the [child] is so transferred, the dispositional hearing shall begin within twenty days from the date the court receives the diagnostic report of the department. If the hearing is not begun within the times specified in this paragraph, the petition shall be dismissed with prejudice after notice and hearing if: (1) the child has not agreed to the delay or has not been responsible for the failure to comply with the time limits; and (2) the child has been prejudiced by the delay.”
