The act spans §§ 19-1-101 to 19-7-315 (377 sections).

(1) At the adjudicatory trial, that must be conducted pursuant to section 19-1-106 , the court shall consider whether the allegations of the petition are supported by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Jurisdictional matters of the age and residence of the juvenile are deemed admitted by or on behalf of the juvenile unless specifically denied within a reasonable time prior to the trial. (2) If the juvenile is found not guilty after an adjudicatory trial, the court shall order the petition dismissed and the juvenile discharged from any detention or restriction previously ordered. The juvenile’s parents, guardian, or other legal custodian are also discharged from any restriction or other previous temporary order. (3) If the juvenile is found guilty after an adjudicatory trial, the court may proceed to sentencing or direct that the matter be set for a separate sentencing hearing within forty-nine days following completion of the adjudicatory trial.
