(a) Nature and Timing of the Hearing. The purpose of a disposition hearing is to determine the appropriate disposition of a juvenile who has been adjudicated a delinquent. The disposition hearing may not be held before adequate information is available upon which to enter an informed disposition order. If the disposition is not held immediately following the adjudication, the court shall set a time for the disposition hearing, which will be held without unreasonable delay, and shall order a predisposition report and other studies, examinations or reports under Delinquency Rule 22 which are necessary for an informed disposition. The juvenile, with approval of the court, may waive the preparation and submission of a predisposition report.
(b) Statements. The court shall allow the parties an opportunity to make a statement and to offer evidence in aid of disposition before entering a disposition order.
(c) Findings. A disposition order, including a disposition order entered as part of a dual sentence, must be accompanied by findings of fact supporting the disposition ordered.
(d) Order. The court shall enter its disposition order or dual sentence taking into account the considerations set out in AS 47.12.140 or AS 47.12.120(j).
(e) Release by Department. The Department shall notify the court in writing when the Department releases a juvenile from institutionalization without court order.
